I switched back to mutt recently. I've tried to use and like Thunderbird, but I just can't make it work consistently across platforms. I really think mutt is the ideal mail user agent. If TB would just become a GUI for mutt, it may be useful to me, but otherwise, it's just not stable nor consistent.
- dmos62 7y agoI found mutt's ui difficult to use, but the main problem was that a significant part of mail I receive is meant to be rendered by a browser, for better or worse (worse). Can you say a bit more about your case?
- bdamm 7y agoYeah, I'd almost give a kidney for a client with mutt's power and Thunderbird's rendering.
- greggyb 7y agoI, too want this. My ideal is actually mu4e, rather than mutt, but the idea is the same. I think what is truly optimal is to keep the CLI nature of the MUA, but have a slave browser window that displays the HTML portion of a message. Then you can tile your terminal to one side of the screen and the browser window to the other. Use the already excellent UI to browse mail and compose mail. When you encounter a message with an HTML part, render that in the slave browser window and render whatever text part exists in the terminal.
