Back in the days before the popularisation of webmail I used (Al)pine email client and found it way more convenient to ssh into a box to manage emails vs managing desktops email clients on different local machines.
For the past 8 years or so I've been stuck using gmail and have tried a few desktop clients, all of them feeling a little sluggish (especially electron apps).
Do pine/mutt have real users in 2020? Are they exclusively for the super nerdy who have complex configurations to enable them to manage their attachments on remote servers?
