Alot is an experimental terminal MUA based on notmuch mail. It is written in python using the urwid toolkit.

Have a look at the user manual for installation notes, advanced usage, customization and hacking guides.

Do comment on the code or file issues! I'm curious what you think of it. You can talk to me in #notmuch@Freenode.

Current features include:

modular and command prompt driven interface
tab completion and usage help for all commands
contacts completion using customizable lookups commands
user configurable keyboard maps
spawn terminals for asynchronous editing of mails
theming, optionally in 2, 16 or 256 colours
tag specific theming and tag string translation
(python) hooks to react on events and do custom formatting
python shell for introspection
forward/reply/group-reply of emails
printing/piping of mails and threads
multiple accounts for sending mails via sendmail
notification popups with priorities
database manager that manages a write queue to the notmuch index

Soonish to be addressed non-features:

See here, most notably:

async. calls to mimeparts renderer, parsing of VT colour escape sequences. see #272. Milestone 0.4
encryption/decryption for messages via gnupg CLI (see branch feature-gnupg). Milestone 0.4
bind sequences of key presses to commands (POC in postponed-multiinput). Milestone 0.5
live search results while you're typing (POC in postponed-livesearch). Milestone 0.6
search for message (POC in postponed-messagesmode). Milestone 0.6
search for strings in displayed buffer. MS 0.7
undo for commands. Milestone 0.7

Usage

The arrow keys, page-up/down, j, k and Space can be used to move the focus. Escape cancels prompts and Enter selects. Hit : at any time and type in commands to the prompt.

The interface shows one buffer at a time, you can use tab and Shift-Tab to switch between them, close the current buffer with d and list them all with ;.

The buffer type or mode (displayed at the bottom left) determines which prompt commands are available. Usage information on any command can be listed by typing help YOURCOMMAND to the prompt; The key bindings for the current mode are listed upon pressing ?.
