Abstract

aerc is a modern email client for your terminal written in Go. aerc supports IMAP, SMTP, JMAP, Maildir, notmuch, mbox and has been designed with patch review and management in mind.

aerc is easy to setup with a new account wizard and has first class support for git+email based workflows.

In this talk, I will be making an introduction to aerc and its capabilities. I will also demonstrate some of the ways you can tweak it and configure it to suit your needs.
