I think this looks good, but I'm not on a Mac anymore.

For people that want a terminal client with tabs, integrated html viewer(including images), markdown compose, MCP, with unified inbox, I built notmutt.

I’m confused, is this a joke about how real Linux users only use console, or did you miss tbe part where it says it’s for Linux?

He’s saying good looking GUIs are for plebian Mac users, you should use his vibeslopped TUI instead, like a real Linux user

Did you not read the part from the author saying that there is currently no linux support? And yes, it looked like a macOS app to me. [1]

But apart from given what I've seen from my experience with handling maildir, actually implementing mail sync, storage, and all the other things associated with mail AND calendar, it sounds risky to use a project this young.

That’s about a completely different client: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49990103

Perhaps you’ve accidentally replied to the root thread instead of that comment?
