What GUI tool can read maildir?

Question

I can use mutt to read maildir on Mac, but is there any graphical tool available?

mutt -f /path/to/maildir

Since mutt can't render HTML emails, I will need something else.

Any ideas?

EDIT for thunderbird

I've changed mail store to maildir format,

And selected a local folder,

The UI become like this, unexpected ..

I assume that https://debian-administration.org/article/75/Reading_HTML_email_with_Mutt is not what you want? — nohillside, Mar 01 '17 at 14:19

Thunderbird can use maildir. https://support.mozilla.org/t5/Basics/Maildir-in-Thunderbird/ta-p/32138. Create a new account in thunderbird. Quit thunderbird. cd to the newly created maildir. rm -rf and then symlink to your existing maildir you used with mutt. Reopen thunderbird.

Looks good, where should I symlink the maildir to? – daisy Mar 02 '17 at 00:13
@daisy It looks like you are pointing to the original maildir from inside thunderbird. I was suggesting that you let thunderbird make a new maildir, then delete it. then symlink. rm -rf /path/to/thunderbirdmaildir ;; ln -s /path/to/muttmaildir /path/tothunderbirdmaildir ;; why not let thunderbird or Mail.app just redownload the messages from imap? – בנימן הגלילי Mar 02 '17 at 07:29
