Roman,
You will love it. One thing it does better than any other MUA is the
way it handles threads, which makes it perfect for e-groups. This is
one of the major differences between Mutt and Pine. Mutt, you can set
up anything your way, and visually see threads. You can also re-list
the mbox or mh anyway you want after you open it up, on the fly, same
for searching. It is the most customizable MUA I have ever seen. They
also have a great help email list, which is very active.
The best way to get into Mutt is to go on their site and download the
Muttrc file from Telsa. (I think it is in the 3rd party additions
section, or something like that) She has commented just about
everything, and makes customization extremely easy to do. Once you
see her file, you can adapt those sections to your existing mailboxes,
i.e. directories. You can pretty much just leave her muttrc file as
is otherwise and use it. I can send you the colors section which will
really enhance your visual experience in Mutt (either in terminal or
X).
Like Pine, your hands will never leave the keyboard for any function
in Mutt, but once you get with the power of it, you will see the
dramatic difference. When I first started with Mutt, I knew nothing
about it, but her muttrc setup (and documentation within it) was so
good, it was easy to get going.
