Which email clients work well with keyboard shortcuts?

I have been a longtime user of Superhuman but since they increased the price and now have been acquired by Grammarly (see discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44433994) I want to find an alternative.

It doesn't need to have all the "AI" that Superhuman has but keyboard shortcuts and hotkeys are a must. Must also have a mobile app

I've tried Spark, Shortwave, Apple Mail, Gmail, Thunderbird and none of them really compare.

Mutt. The learning curve is substantial and the omnipresence of HTML and graphics is email will make the experience poor… but if you take part in multiple mailing lists and are 99% text and little else, it’s worth the hassle.

Yeah I was just about to suggest mutt. You can always just | elinks --dump | less for html email.

IMO not having clickable links in email is actually a plus.

The lack of support for graphics sounds limiting until you realise that most graphics attached to emails that you need to read, are just in people's signatures and a complete waste of your screen space and bandwidth... :D
