@Joel I'm a "do everything in #emacs" guy, so my mail is via #Gnus, #Getmail, #Notmuch, #BBDB, and integration with #orgmode todo items. So, it took me a while to get my email setup configured, but now it fits like a glove. As I write this on Mastodon, I am one key chord away from creating (C-x m) or checking my email (f9) or searching my email (s-m) or searching my contacts (C-c b b).
