Ditched ThunderBird email client and switched to full terminal based one. "mutt".

Things are faster now. With better control on how I am storing my email. This will come handy later as I remove emails from server and backup those on my local machine.

Also better spam control from client side.

Current ~/.muttrc

# About Me
set from = "habib@habibur.com"
set realname = "Sanjir Habib"

# My credentials
set smtp_url = "smtp://habib@habibur.com:587/"
set smtp_pass = ""
set imap_user = "habib@habibur.com"
set imap_pass = ""

# My mailboxes
set folder = "imaps://habibur.com:993"
set spoolfile = "+INBOX"

# Where to put the stuff
set header_cache = "~/.mutt/cache/headers"
set message_cachedir = "~/.mutt/cache/bodies"
set certificate_file = "~/.mutt/certificates"

# Etc
set mail_check = 30
set move = no
set imap_keepalive = 900
set sort = threads
set editor = "vim"

# Sort
set sort=threads
set sort_browser=date
set sort_aux=reverse-last-date-received

# Scroll within email body
bind pager previous-line
bind pager next-line
set sleep_time = 0 # be fast
set smart_wrap

# fully qualified domain name in smtp
set hostname=habibur.com
set use_domain
