You cannot imagine how long Ive waited to write this blog post. Normally Im not the bragging kind of guy but for this years edition of my „[I love Free Software][1]“ declaration articles (after [2014][2], [2015][3] and [2016][4]) I just want to shout out to the world: I have the worlds best mail client: [astroid][5]!

_**Update February 2018**: Meanwhile I have [published my mail config](https://src.mehl.mx/mxmehl/mail-config) incl. astroid, notmuch, offlineimap etc. It is a rather complicated and special setup but perhaps it will help you._

> Astroid is a lightweight and fast Mail User Agent that provides a graphical interface to searching, display and composing email, organized in thread and tags. Astroid uses the [notmuch][7] backend for blazingly fast searches through tons of email. Astroid searches, displays and composes emails and rely on other programs for fetching, syncing and sending email.

Astroid is roughly 3 years old, is based on sup, and is mainly developed by [Gaute Hope][8], an awesome programmer who encourages people also non-programmers like me to engage in the small and friendly community.

Thats one secret of astroid: it doesnt try to catch up to programs that do certain jobs very well already. So astroid relies on external POP/IMAP fetching (e.g. offlineimap), SMTP server (e.g. msmtp), email indexing (notmuch), and mail editors (e.g. vim, emacs). This way, astroid can concentrate on offering a unique interface that unites many strenghts:

* astroid encourages you to use tabs. Email threads open in a new tab, a newly composed message is a separate tab, as well as a search query. You wont loose any information when you write an email while researching in your archive while keeping an eye on incoming unread mails. If your tab bar becomes too long, just open another astroid instance.
* It can be used by either keyboard or mouse. Beginners value to have a similar experience as with mouse-based mail agents like Thunderbird, experts hunt through their mails with the configurable keyboard shortcuts.

Because it is open to any workflow, you can also easily use astroid with rather uncommon workflows. I, personally, use a mix of folder- and tag-based sorting. My mail server automatically moves incoming mails to certain folders (mostly based on mailing lists) which is important to me because I often use my mobile phone that doesnt include a tagging-based email client, too. But with my laptop I can add additional tags or tag unsorted mails. Based on these tags, I again sort these mails to certain folders to reduce the amount of mails lying around in my unsorted inbox. Such a strange setup would have been impossible with many other email agents but with astroid (almost) everything is possible.
