Aerc has been my daily driver for a long, long time. I use it with IMAP (GMail and other reasons) but its completely usable with local mail directories.
- I have redefined the Aerc key mapping with a set of Vim-like keybindings, since I am too old to learn new keybindings. And I bet now I as fast as possible slashing through countless mails…
- I configured Aerc to work properly with Gmail and Imapfilter.
- I created some filters that I missed from any mail client I ever tried (at least two keystrokes away). Like:
ff = :filter -f<space> "{{index (.From | emails) 0}}" <Enter> # filter mails from current sender
fs = :filter -H<space> subject:"{{.SubjectBase}}" <Enter> # Show Mails with the same subject
fS = :filter -H<space> subject:<Space> # filter mails with subject e.g. "fs foo" filters mails with subject containing "foo"
If someone is interested, I will link my GitHub repo.
For GMail sync someone else has already mentioned Lieer which is an excellent tool for robust two-way syncing of emails and tags/labels between Notmuch (and anything that uses it) and GMail. It uses the GMail API so it doesn't rely on IMAP.
Pretty sure that's fake news. To my knowledge, they've only deprecated authentication with your regular password via IMAP, you'll now have to at least create an app password.

I'm very interested...this post has encouraged me to play with aerc again, and the first filter you posted is something I have always wanted in an email client!
