Leaving mail on the server is not something that I have ever tried, but I am finding it difficult to imagine how mutt (or any MUA) could provide the index if it did not at least fetch headers. Are you looking for an MUA which presents only one line of interface: Number of unread emails: 472 NEXT It would certainly be quick, and simple to use, but being unable to see what the inbox contains, or read out of sequence, seems a high price to pay. So long as one is not so delinquent as to leave anything but today's mail in the inbox (plus maybe one or two from yesterday, not yet handled), it would take a very large daily flood to make starting slow, I suggest.
