Hi behrouz,

If you want to be fast and non-gui-applications are as acceptable
for as gui-applications for you...

kmail => mutt/muttng
gui-editors => vim
xine-gui => mplayer/mpv
session-management => windowmanagement
I dont know i3wm (which simply means "I dont know" ... there 
is nothing hidden "between the lines" :) I am using openbox.

Only my two cent... ;)
Have fun!
Best regards,
Meino
