To provide an insight into the quality of software that is available, we have compiled a list of 10 console email clients. Many of the programs featured here delegate some tasks to other tools, so they can focus on being the best client possible. All of the programs are free and open source goodness. While many of us use webmail for casual use, there’s nothing quite like using a console application. Given the volume of email sent and received and the importance of emails in our workflows, it’s imperative to process that email as efficiently as possible.
