(Remember: postcard, simple.) Vivaldi offers a setting to render everything as text and compose everything as text. Though of course I would urge you to not inject HTML into your emails and to step away from the font selection tools. It includes all the features you’d expect in a modern mail client, including the ability to render HTML email and even create it. Vivaldi’s mail client is aimed at a much wider audience than text-only Mutt. But it's not web-based email Vivaldi is downloading your mail to your computer and giving you a nice, elegant tool for managing it that happens to live inside a browser tab. The mail interface opens in a browser tab, and there are a variety of layouts to choose from, including some that look just like popular web-based interfaces.

The tracking pixels people sneak into emails to see whether I’ve read their message? Nope. ![]() Images? I open those separately, and only when I want to. Those ridiculous signatures and disclaimers people put at the bottom of their emails? I don’t see them. That might sound anachronistic, but I believe Mutt is the main reason I still like email. ![]() It loads in a text-only window and is controlled with keyboard commands.
