What it does

meli is a terminal email client with multiple-account support and several local and remote mailbox backends. Its build documentation lists GPG signing, encryption and signature verification through GPGME.

meli supports a choice of mailbox backends, including IMAP, JMAP, Maildir, mbox and Notmuch. That flexibility is useful for a user who wants one terminal interface across hosted and local mail rather than another web account.

The repository documents GPGME as the component behind GPG signing, encryption and verification. Check the features included in the package being installed, because this is a configurable native application with optional build features. The GitHub repository identifies itself as a mirror of the project’s own Git server.

Strengths

  • Multiple local and remote mailbox backends are documented.
  • GPG signing, encryption and verification are listed.

Best for

  • Terminal users with mixed local and hosted mailbox sources
