Sup is a console-based email client for people with a lot of email.
-> Note: Sup is currently un-maintained. Please see [this discussion](https://github.com/sup-heliotrope/sup/issues/504). The [notmuch mail](https://notmuchmail.org/) project and its associated [clients](https://notmuchmail.org/frontends/) were inspired by sup and are actively maintained and developed.

+## Maintenance status
+
+Sup is a mature, production-quality mail client. The maintainers are also
+long-term users, and mainly focus on preserving the current feature set. Pull
+requests are very welcome, especially to fix bugs or improve compatibility,
+however pull requests for major new features are unlikely to be merged.
+
+## Alternatives
+
+If Sup is missing a feature you are interested in, it might be possible to
+accomplish using Sup's [powerful hooks mechanism][hooks]. Otherwise, here are
+some alternatives to consider:
+
+* [Notmuch](https://notmuchmail.org/) was inspired by Sup. There are a wide
+ variety of [Notmuch clients](https://notmuchmail.org/frontends/) available.
+ The most similar to Sup's look-and-feel is
+ [Alot](https://github.com/pazz/alot) — also a curses-based frontend.
+ Alot even ships with a built-in
+ [Sup theme](https://github.com/pazz/alot/blob/master/extra/themes/sup)!
