I took a quick look at lumail, and it seems to be almost 100% C++, with just
the user's configuration file as a Lua script (albeit the config file

maybe I'll even try it... but I really don't see it as an example of a trend
from "glue/embedded" to "written in Lua".
Well, yes, you are right. I was mistaken by the fact that Lumail was
described as being "100% scripted and configured in Lua". However on
close inspection it appears that the underlying structure is written in C.
Nonetheless its Lua scripting capability is to be celebrated, because
there are no other email clients that support Lua scripting. So it's a
great gain.
Unfortunately, POP3 support has not been implemented (yet). But, again,
it's a start. A move in the right direction.
Hopefully Lumail will evolve into an all-round emal client, like mutt.
