While dating my wife in 1999, Pine was the only email client available at my local university. I still remember it fondly, and wish I had an archive of those emails.
I (like to imagine that I) miss pine and elm. But then I remember all the troubles configuring procmail to deal with that new problem of spam and scams, and html in email, and...
But I do miss it's brutal simplicity of the superficial acts of reading, marking, moving to mailboxes, etc.
Personally my email usage and complexity peaked 10 years ago, and since then, I spend effort to minimize it. I keep only the last 12 months of mail and in less than a dozen folders.
And I wonder at the utility of all the authentication verify these days; as even EFF has pointed out, most of the big spammers and scam outfits do impeccable authentication, so the lack of - means little.
Email is still wonderful, maybe the best service the Internet ever spawned (because it didn't; email predates the Internet by a good margin).
If I separated out "commerce" junk mail (eg the dozen you get if you buy one pencil) my personal email is very easy. How to automate that is the question for me.
