The most modern is mutt. The main thing these will not do is handle HTML mail. Of those, I would recommend mutt. It uses curses, so you get something that acts something like a GUI. It is highly flexible and configurable. Do, however, expect a learning curve. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
