Some of its more interesting features include:
- Editing emails in an embedded terminal tmux-style, allowing you to check on
incoming emails and reference other threads while you compose your replies
- Render HTML emails with an interactive terminal web browser, highlight
patches with diffs, and browse with an embedded less session
- Vim-style keybindings and ex-command system, allowing for powerful
automation at a single keystroke
- First-class support for working with git & email
- Open a new tab with a terminal emulator and a shell running for easy access
to nearby git repos for parallel work
- Support for multiple accounts, with support for IMAP, Maildir, SMTP, and
sendmail transfer protocols
- Asynchronous IMAP support ensures the UI never gets locked up by a flaky
network, as mutt often does
- Efficient network usage - aerc only downloads the information which is
necessary to present the UI, making for a snappy and bandwidth-efficient
experience 100% free and open source software!
