On any BSD or Linux, neomutt with mbox [1] serves simple use[r]s.
You can go more minimal for lols but there's not much point to it.

But if you want to move to more volume, a programmable backend,
and extra crypto, which you eventually will and should just do from
day one, you need fetchmail, msmtp, maildrop, and gpg with maildir.

Beware most every other imap/pop and smtp client cannot do cert
pinning (and optional checking) at all, let alone right or flexibly. (You
might be able to get it added in neomutt if you ask them and help now.)
And most of them suck badly at flexibly handling many accounts,
unless you code around it. (Fetchmail / msmtp would be willing.)

[1] For technical reasons I do not recommend mbox,
unfortunately most users see it, incorrectly, as simple,
so there it is listed.
