Use tt

These pages explain tt, the terminal interface of Tilde. tt opens one screen: a top bar, the tree of the mail accounts and their folders on the left, the messages of the selected account or folder on the right, newest first, and a bottom bar that says where you are (message 3 of 200, with the account and the keys) or what the last command said. Every key but Ctrl-c is a command bound in keybind.lua, with vim keys first and the keys of the keyboard as aliases. tt --demo shows made-up accounts and messages, so every page can be tried without an account. For a guided walk, start with the tutorial.

The main screen of tt: a tree of accounts and folders on the left, the list of messages on the right, and a status line at the bottom with the place, the message count, the memory and the keys.
