## What it is
Pop is a terminal-based tool for sending emails, offering both an interactive TUI and a CLI for piping Markdown messages with attachments. It supports Resend (with OAuth) and SMTP, and ships a skill file for AI agent integration.

## Use cases
- send emails from the terminal
- pipe a markdown file as an email body
- send email with attachments from the command line
- send email via SMTP from a script
- let an AI agent send emails on my behalf
- compose email in a TUI instead of a mail client

## When to choose
- you want to send email from scripts, cron jobs, or CI without a full mail client
- you prefer writing email bodies in Markdown and sending them as HTML
- you use Resend or plain SMTP and want a lightweight CLI
- you want AI coding agents to send email via a documented skill

## When to avoid
- you need to read, receive, or manage an inbox - Pop only sends mail
- you need rich HTML email templates or marketing campaign features
- you need a GUI email client with contacts and calendar
