You could just try notmuch. Extract your tarball and run "notmuch new" on that - |
| 21 |
of course you want to configure notmuch before that, "man notmuch" may help. |
| 22 |
If it doesn't throw any errors you can try some basic queries like |
| 23 |
"notmuch search subject:MUA" to see if indexing went fine. |
| 24 |
You could try https://github.com/astroidmail/astroid as a frontend. It supports |
| 25 |
HTML-Mails, is highly configurable and completely keyboard-driven but still |
| 26 |
requires webkit-gtk:3... |
| 27 |

Happy testing ;) |
