Enough of that GUI nonsense, in 3 days Thunderbird couldn't index my gmail inbox, or download all the headers, or whatever it was doing. Don't need Firefox or Thunderbird loaded to get to your email either. And high CPU usage to accomplish nothing, just your favorite terminal emulator.

This is fast, like the Android client. And now maybe quoting will work right in mailing lists. And because it's IMAP you can have several clients going at once. I started on Pine but it's hard to tell the difference.

The URLs I used were just imap.gmail.com and smtp.gmail.com, didn't need usernames or ports. Signature goes in ~/.signature
