Screenshot of Terminal Email: terminal email clients for every system

A searchable catalog of terminal email clients and related mail tools covering Linux, macOS, Windows, BSD and Android (via Termux). It indexes 19 maintained terminal clients and 7 mail utilities, showing which systems each runs on, programming language and license, supported backends (IMAP, POP3, JMAP, Maildir, notmuch, mbox, NNTP) and key features such as OpenPGP or built-in IMAP. Each entry includes install commands and example configuration that will work with Forward Email or any other provider, plus filters by name, language or protocol and counts by system and feature so users can quickly compare options.

Featured is a terminal build of Forward Email’s webmail that combines mail, calendar, contacts and tasks in a single TUI; it runs as a self-updating standalone executable or via npm, supports mouse, scrolling and keyboard hints, and can sign in to hosted or self-hosted Forward Email accounts (a demo mode is provided). The catalog lists well-known clients (Mutt/NeoMutt, aerc, Alpine, Gnus, mu4e, Notmuch front ends, Himalaya, Matcha, meli, nmail, nmh, Sup, Wanderlust) and mail tools (isync/mbsync, msmtp, getmail6, OfflineIMAP, notmuch indexer, mutt-wizard, Pop), with platform-specific install notes and recommended workflows.
