@pinkforest Well I used mutt 1999-22, and email workflow is the most critical thing in my life almost ;-) But I can still try it out and comment if I have anything to say.

What made me try out aerc in the first place was this blog post: http://www.kroah.com/log/blog/2019/08/14/patch-workflow-with-mutt-2019/, i.e. if aerc made any sense to Greg K-H, it might make sense to me, as Greg is a long-time mutt user :-)

IMHO, one place where there is a lot of room for improvement, and I don’t really have a fixed choice per se, is command-line / TUI address book with vCard support, which would integrate smoothly with these popular clients:

  1. Aerc
  2. Alpine
  3. Mutt

ATM, I’m using https://github.com/lucc/khard but I do not love it particularly.

@pinkforest Like for instance, use something like https://github.com/kawasin73/prsqlite and create sqlite db and Rust traits for importing and exporting different contact formats including vCards and abook, could be one robust and ubiquitous approach.

@pinkforest In the scope of features address book called khard and calendar tool called khal are pretty good reference models in this area. I think the interface could be just smoother.
