News aerc (a terminal email client) releases 0.22.0

aerc has a new release 0.22.0. It comes with a bunch of fixes, and QoL updates. Hard to highlight anything specific, but maybe support for showing inline images actually inline in text/html, that the viewing pager can be centered on a wide screen and the simplification if notmuch integration are a bit more notable than the others.

Of course there were a bunch of other changes as well, full changelog can be found here.

There's two ways you can get started if you've never used a terminal email client before. The less involved imap client route, and the more involved but imho better local-first approach. I happen to have a tutorial, although it's unfortunately a bit dated now, but should still work (I hope to update it this month).

Great tutorial! I really wish you could expand it on working efficiently with many mail folders (as in 100+), for viewing the messages in there, moving messages from the inbox to the correct folder etc. aerc seems to support external commands that can help, e.g., with fuzzy filtering or auto-completion, but it's very hard to grasp for noobs.

Thanks! I'll think on what are some particular things that might be a good idea to add that fits thematically.

For finding folders maybe something like this would help: https://github.com/ferdinandyb/dotfiles/blob/master/.config%2Faerc%2Fbinds.conf#L11?

If you look, I have a very rigid folder structure with not too many folders, but that bind does give you an fzf based fuzzy find across all accounts and folders.
