This is one of those things that I didn't know I needed. An email client made for power users with the speed, simplicity and flexibility of Sublime Text (and now Merge) would be the end of all of my email woes. I would pay a lot of money for this.

And then they add Exchange support and the whole thing slows to a crawl.

I know that, in terms of UI, this is not precisely the SublimeText equivalent of an email client but have you taken a look at notmuch[0]?

It basically operates on your local Maildir which you can keep in sync with your mail server by using a tool like OfflineIMAP[1].

Or mbsync[1] – I've found it faster and more stable than OfflineIMAP.

Agreed. I would pay quite a lot for a native email client that respects your privacy.

Have you tried mailspring?

Mailspring looks nice. I would like the metadata to be under my control and not synced to their servers. The fact that I need to login to their machines turns me off. I'm open to running my own instance of their server. I do not like requiring "the cloud" to use my email client.
