I just switched to mutt today. and am pretty impressed.
I have used pine regularly in the past, and aside from the config, mutt is much better.
But, if you go to mutt.org and follow the links, there is a wonderful web based
confiuration generation program out there. My biggest problem was figuring out how to
get my mail off of a server, not using pop3.
I finally found that
set spoolfile = "{my.mailserver.com}INBOX"
works for my IMAP inbox
and that
set spoolfile = "{my.mailserver.com}mail/inbox"
works for accessing my post procmail inbox in my home directory.
Woo!
