The #meli e-mail client began as a C ncurses project back in 2017, quickly switching to Rust. Its name was "nutt" as in "new mutt" but that was just an ugly placeholder. It only supported maildir.
Since then, it has gained support for so many protocols: IMAP, NNTP, JMAP, and more. It is packaged in many distros.
Yesterday marked 7 years since its first public commit. Happy birthday!
