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!

I use alpine 2.26

Alpine!

I use thunderbird on my local machine, and neomutt on tilde.team. Over the last couple years, I've gotten somewhat comfortable with neomutt, and I'm thinking of switching to it from thunderbird, but thunderbird serves my needs well enough that I don't know if I will.
