[BikeIM](https://BikeIM.com/) is an Mail Client written in Python designed to replace Mutt, mailx, Thunderbird, and a few other clients. It supports encryption and signing with PGP as a standard feature. It was designed with security in mind so that users never have to fear a crash or weakness compromising their computer or their mail. Versions of this mail client have been tested for 10 years.
BikeIM is not a [PIM](/wiki/PIM) and doesn't support calendar, todo lists, or user metadata.
