neomutt
Terminal email client based on Mutt
TLDR
SYNOPSIS
neomutt [options] [address ...]
DESCRIPTION
neomutt is a small but powerful terminal email client supporting color terminals, MIME, OpenPGP/GnuPG, S/MIME, and threaded message sorting. It is a community-driven fork of Mutt that integrates long-standing patches and adds new features.Supported protocols include IMAP, POP3, SMTP, NNTP, and local mailbox formats (mbox, Maildir, MH, MMDF). NeoMutt is highly configurable via `~/.neomuttrc` and uses Vim-like key bindings by default.

HISTORY
NeoMutt was forked from Mutt in 2016 by Richard Russon to integrate community patches and add new features independently of the Mutt development pace.
