![]() ![]() Vivaldi Mail looks a lot like a web-based email client. I recommend checking it out if your relationship with email is. The Vivaldi web browser, which I have previously called the web’s best browser for its customization options and user-first design, recently started building an email client into the browser. For those emails, and as an extra backup, I’ve been using Vivaldi’s Mail client since it was released as a beta last year. But there are some I have to deal with–banking notifications, receipts for online purchases, calendar notifications, and other things I can’t just trash. Unfortunately, there are people who believe that email should include formatting, special fonts, inline images, and all kinds of junk. Mutt also renders the text instantly unlike Gmail or other web-based options, there’s no waiting for the message to load. It’s the back of the postcard, the meat of the message, and nothing else. ![]() The tracking pixels people sneak into emails to see whether I’ve read their message? Nope. Images? I open those separately, and only when I want to. ![]() Those ridiculous signatures and disclaimers people put at the bottom of their emails? I don’t see them. That might sound anachronistic, but I believe Mutt is the main reason I still like email. It loads in a text-only window and is controlled with keyboard commands. Mutt is a console-based mail client that was first released in the mid-1990s. ![]()
