Belatedly, Mutt (I don't have Neomutt on this machine, because...thanks
Solus?) works really, really well in a terminal oddly enough as well as
a pure console. Alpine sadly doesn't so at least for my use case, Mutt
wins out
Now to figure out if Mutt or Neomutt is a better fit? I'd say you can
probably ransition from Alpine to Mutt with a bit of a learning curve,
for me Alpine took more getting used to in my brief tests. I like the
layout o Alpine. But Mutt, at least on my machine, works better with
Orca in a terminal, I don't run into horizontally laid out things, Mutt
has it listed alphabetically so I know or example my Blinux folder is
always at the top of the heap, Inbox is option #5 and so forth. To me
that makes more sense than having Inbox/Drafts/etc all on one line, but
YMMV on that of course, Alpine isn't available in the default Arch repos
but a quick git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay-bin, installing that
and then yay -S alpine sorts that out however

If you want to use an email client with Orca, stick to Thunderbird.
I find Orca unwieldy in the terminal anyway.
If, however, you wish to do so with Speakup or Fenrir, I personally
prefer Alpine.
Why? Simple. I don't know Mutt at all.

Subject: Mutt or Alpine
So I'm using Mutt, but...
What does Mutt have over Alpine and vice versa, why would I use one
over the other?
Mutt seems faster to me, but Alpine seems more user friendly without
making temporary files while composing a message (unles I can tell
Mutt/Neomutt to delete those automatically
So is there a consensus of which is the easier choice to use with Orca?
