I just want a mail client and not all of the other features.

Possibly FOSS and from terminal.

Thanks

    For FOSS and from the terminal, ‘mutt’ is the go-to, as far as I’m aware.

      My only concern with mutt is that AFAIK it stores passwords in clear. any way to get around that?

        you can use pass password manager

        source "echo 'set my_pass = `pass -- mail/you@mail.com`' |"

        Not really. The client needs to send your password to the server to login. The alternatives are using a keyring to store the passwords or asking for the password each time. Really just use full disk encryption and it isn’t a serious issue.
