Hmmm. I'm going to disagree a bit. I think Mutt is a fine MUA, and I use it for all of my personal and professional mail, but it definitely has some baggage that sucks. - IMAP support causes segfaults with 1.5.21. Regularly. - Local commands, such as 'c' to change mailboxes, can take ages, even though all the mailboxes are cached. - All around, it's slow. Even with caching. - Inconsistent keyboard shortcuts. First it's 'i' that exits, then 'y' then 'q', and so on. - No sidebar support (outside of an unofficial patch) for viewing your mailbox tree. - No vertical layout for viewing messages with widescreen monitors.. - No ability to change signatures when changing accounts automatically. - No RSS/Usenet support. There are other things that irk me, but those are probably the heavy hitters. Despite that, I find Mutt to be a good all-alround MUA, which I use daily (have for years), but you won't find me saying it doesn't suck. It certainly has its issues. :) -- . o . o . o . . o o . . . o . . . o . o o o . o . o o . . o o o o . o . . o o o o . o o o
