mail: Switch aerc for neomutt, simplify maildir

Made mail dir synchronization simpler - only a couple of important
directories will ever get synchronized to the local file system, but
still containing basically all important incoming mails.

Removed aerc and switched it for neomutt. aerc is very nice and needs
little to no configuration but neomutt is, as of this moment, just more
stable and mature. It opens quickly, never crashes, has a nice indexing
and quick e-mail handling behavior and is incredibly customizable.
Basically, once you put in some configuration effort, it is everything
aerc isn't --- and that is good, both have their reasons for existing.
It's just that mutt currently works better for me and will thus be the
e-mail reader of choice from now on.

[viewer]
#
# Specifies the pager to use when displaying emails. Note that some filters
# may add ANSI codes to add color to rendered emails, so you may want to use a
# pager which supports ANSI codes.
#
# Default: less -R
pager=less -R
#
# If an email offers several versions (multipart), you can configure which
# mimetype to prefer. For example, this can be used to prefer plaintext over

# Default setting to determine whether to show full headers or only parsed
# ones in message viewer.

#
# Specifies the command to be used to tab-complete email addresses. Any
# occurrence of "%s" in the address-book-cmd will be replaced with what the
# user has typed so far.
#
# The command must output the completions to standard output, one completion
# per line. Each line must be tab-delimited, with an email address occurring as
# the first field. Only the email address field is required. The second field,
# if present, will be treated as the contact name. Additional fields are
# ignored.

[filters]
#
# Filters allow you to pipe an email body through a shell command to render
# certain emails differently, e.g. highlighting them with ANSI escape codes.
#
# The first filter which matches the email's mimetype will be used, so order
# them from most to least specific.
#
# You can also match on non-mimetypes, by prefixing with the header to match
# against (non-case-sensitive) and a comma, e.g. subject,text will match a
# subject which contains "text". Use header,~regex to match against a regex.

[triggers]
#
# Triggers specify commands to execute when certain events occur.
#
# Example:
# new-email=exec notify-send "New email from %n" "%s"
#
# Executed when a new email arrives in the selected folder
new-email=
[templates]
# Templates are used to populate email bodies automatically.
#
# The directories where the templates are stored. It takes a colon-separated
# list of directories.
#
# default: /usr/share/aerc/templates/

# The template to be used for quoted replies.
#
# default: quoted_reply
