For me, it's /usr/bin/mail -> /usr/bin/s-nail

With all due fear of the wrath of Shell-God,
I use Sylpheed -- a GTK2-based e-mail and Usenet client.

/Sylpheed Saved My Life/:

Not many programs have recevied such praise.  One other instance is a hillarious 6-player gamed called Zatacka, of whcih the author of a review said: "Zatacka changed my life."

Oh cool, I like that guy Zed! I learned python from his guide originally.

I have to say!!!! Every time I used one of these ssh boards, like this one,
or
    ssh lowlife@45.79.250.220
or 
    telnet bbs.archaicbinary.net

I think, "wow what a nice experience". It's too bad it's not more common. I like it even better than usenet etc. But I don't use anything like this normally!

Well, there still are /tons/ of BBSes out there, many of them integrated with FidoNet and/or Usenet.  Nova BBS (novabbs.org, novabbs.com) carried many Usenet groups, but is now down.  Do try

    telnet magnumbbs.net

-- they have a selection of Usenet groups.

Yes, telnet BBS experience is somethig else.

I have been uning gmail's web interface for two decades now. I have also used Thunderbird briefly, but abandoned it for a few reasons, it having corrupted years of my work's mailbox not the smallest of those reasons.

At work, I use either Sogo or Roundcube

I had never ever used a shell mail client until recently joining tilde.club, having tried mail, mutt and alpine, I'm much more ibclined to the latter. The learning curve and different paradigm is a bit challenging, but fun.

All this BBS talk made me start a thread about BBS'es!
