We have basic functions and we can read html files and even add keyboard shortcuts and certain personal settings. Once we have the connection, Trojita will manage all our emails remotely, which makes the program quite light. Trojita only works with the IMAP protocol which means that we need to have an internet connection to work. If Alpine is the simplest expression, we can say that Trojita is an intermediate solution. Alpine does not allow the reading of files in html and in other formats incompatible with the terminal, but it does support multi-account management as well as POP and IMAP protocols. This client is basic and although it may seem difficult to use, due to the style of the terminal, the truth is that Alpine is as easy as Nano, the Linux code editor. So light is Alpine that it only works in terminal, it does not have a graphical interface. If we are looking for an ultralight email client, Alpine is the solution. Something that makes Balsa quite a thin client. Nor will we find calendars or customizations through add-ons. But We will not have other options such as the encryption of the emails or the edition of signatures in html. We can find in Balsa basic functions such as marking emails, searching for emails, classifying them, etc. Balsa supports the management of multiple email accounts, also supports IMAP and POP protocols. This email client is lighter but also has fewer features. Thus, in addition to sending emails, we can filter and search them with basic tools of the email client. The basic functions that every user looks for are also found in Sylpheed. This client does not have personalization or a calendar, but it is effective when it comes to sending and receiving emails. Sylpheed is an email client that not only offers us email, but also possibility of multi-account, GPG signature and the edition of html messages. The first of them is quite famous, old and effective.
