Welcome! I think you'll really enjoy using mutt, and Linux, too.
To start with, mutt is a mailer, otherwise known as a mail user agent
(MUA) or an e-mail client. It is not an editor. That distinction
sometimes confuses people at first. To learn about mutt,
- Read the manual.
- Use the help screens.
- Follow this list.
- Follow the comp.mail.mutt newsgroup.
- Look at http://www.mutt.org/.
The web site has links to a number of resources that might be helpful,
especially:
- Articles in the press
- Mutt FAQ
- Sample configuration files
Reading the manual is good, but it's difficult to absorb everything in
it. It can also be difficult to distinguish the important, often-used
features from the more esoteric ones, and the _implications_ of various
features are not always obvious, at least to me. I've learned the most
from reading this list, trying out features that are discussed here,
then reading the relevant parts of the manual to find out more.
Regards,
Gary
