I will write a program that use MySQL. But I'm a bit uncertain 
what is the best package to work with MySql?
I also need to send mails; same question here, or rather what is 
the simplest way to send mails from D?

Frankly, I do not know the right answers, but I would start with 
https://code.dlang.org/search?q=mysql and 
https://code.dlang.org/search?q=mail

One of those packages are probably your best choice.

Unfortunately dub registry does not go through the 
packages/modules inside DUB packages as there are probably MySQL 
or email modules out there that are in DUB packages with 
unrelated names. The way it currently works we will never have 
it, but until recently it could not even do a substring search, 
so we are making some progress...

You could try `mysql.d` from 
[arsd](https://github.com/adamdruppe/arsd). The 
[awesome-d](https://github.com/dlang-community/awesome-d?tab=readme-ov-file#database-clients
) repo might have something too.
