How do y'all like to read email in ? Any cool tricks?

@0x4d6165 notmuch. The coolest "trick", but also curse at the same time, in my opinion is to store all mail locally. Combined with local files this can become a reliable autarkic knowledge base. Following a reference to an email from inside an org-mode file will always work immediately, no network request needed. Curse, because it requires custom setup to load mails into the system, and to sync metadata (notmuch's tags) between machines.

how did you sync the metadata?

@dekkzz76 @0x4d6165 by dumping it to a file with 'notmuch dump', then committing and pushing to a remote git repo. The dump format fits well for line based diffs: one line per mail, containing its Message-ID and its tags. Then on another machine: git pull; notmuch restore.
