- _verandaguy 8y agoNot sure why this is being downvoted. It works for a lot of people I know, is modular, stable, open-source and works across the Unixen. The obvious tradeoff the relative lack of polish and overhead during initial setup, but if you're willing to put up with that it's a fine choice.
- bojanvidanovic 8y agoI also use Mutt.
- noahdesu 8y agoare you using mutt's built-in imap functionality, or something like offlineimap?
- wanderfowl 8y agoMutt is great if you're not often dealing with images or rich text, and if you love keyboard-based workflows. I was a mutt guy for a while. But I've found apps like MailMate or even GMail's web client to be keyboardy enough, without some of the compromises and pain points (e.g. fighting OfflineIMAP)
- jason_slack 8y agoI have wanted to switch to mutt a few times but it feels complicated to setup and adapt to my workflow. Plus I want to POP down most mailboxes but not all of them.
