About:
nmail is a lightweight, terminal-based email client designed for efficiency and keyboard-driven workflows. It provides a comprehensive interface for managing emails, contacts, and calendars directly from the command line. Its key value proposition is offering a fast, native, and offline-capable alternative to webmail for power users.
Key Features:
  • Full offline support with local caching
  • Integrated contact and calendar management
  • Vi-like keybindings for efficient navigation
  • Built-in notetaking functionality
Use Cases:
  • Managing email on headless Linux or macOS servers
  • Productivity-focused email management without leaving the terminal
  • Users seeking a lightweight alternative to GUI email clients
Alternatives:
  • mutt – nmail provides an integrated calendar and contacts, whereas mutt typically relies on external tools for these features.
  • aerc – nmail is a native C++ application, while aerc is written in Go and features a more modern, terminal UI architecture.
