Also open to alternative suggestions.

I use mutt with mbox_type = maildir, relying on offlineimap to sync mailboxes from my account on the tildeverse. I use msmtp as MDA (though I've also used the portable version of DragonFly BSD's DMA). offlineimap and msmtp invoke password-store to decrypt my password.
Th only downside of OfflineIMAP is that it's still written in python2.
