Love the recent efforts on building new terminal clients. I'm excited to try meli out. I've been using https://aerc-mail.org/ as a daily driver for several months, but excited to try some others in this space. I found mutt a bit intimidating to configure, where aerc and meli seem more straightforward.

Thanks for recommending aerc. I gave it a try for my Postgres contributions workflow, and it was very easy to use it. Having tried mutt, it was surprisingly easy to configure aerc to work with GMail.
I am able to induce a crash pretty reliably (by pressing J or K at a fast rate), and probably there are other minor bugs hidden. But aerc is good enough to be my daily driver for my workflow.
