i was just wondering because i do talk to my friends most of the time through email and since gmail lets you add mpop and mop3 to email clients i figured it would be an interesting idea to use an email client on the terminal with built in notifications and stuff, thanks so much

Yes it does exist. I’ve only dabbled with terminal email clients so not sure if they have notifications but:
- elm
- mutt
And plenty more: https://www.tecmint.com/best-commandline-email-clients-for-linux/
i should have googled it first right?? umm thanks a lot!!!
Try the arch wiki too!
It did cross my mind, but I find that giving actual answers is more productive :)
Have fun with your terminal adventures!

Is it really practical in 2024? I used pine as my sole e-mail client for many years.
In the last 15 years it feels like every mail expects the client to be able to render html, with no real fallback for text-only. Even when my client only blocks remote images some mail can be quite hard to decipher.
Company handbook even requires me to have a html signature with a picture of the company logo… before that I’ve militantly only sent text-only e-mail.
They can render HTML now. 😉
Pretty sure the

“All mail clients suck. This one just sucks less.”
nmh is my favorite. You would have to script your notifications though
