IMHO, the choice should be between pine and elm. Personally I use pine and
have for years. But elm is similar but with lots and lots of fine
controls.

Personally, I have my pine set to use my own sendmail server instead of
pointing it to my ISP's sendmail. That way I *know* if mail was sent.

One thing that I just learned that's useful about mutt is that you can
compose MIME messages from the commandline. Pine can't do it and it's a
real pain to try and craft on your own.
