NeoMutt is a keyboard-driven terminal email client for Linux and macOS, a modern fork of Mutt loaded with extra patches and features. It integrates cleanly with GnuPG for OpenPGP and also handles S/MIME, giving encryption power users full control. It is open source, free, and endlessly configurable, with IMAP, POP3, and Notmuch search built in. The steep learning curve and text-only interface put it firmly in expert territory. If you want a fast, scriptable mail workflow, little else compares.
