I've always wanted to try Mutt, but from the outside it seems quite daunting.
Is there a beginners guide on how to get the essentials? What plugins should I use to get, say, similar experience as Gmail/Fastmail? Should I use Neomutt?

- ninjin 4y agoHonestly, I find it easier to start from something minimal, read man pages, and then gradually make the setup more complex, rather than start from a massive heap of settings handed down from someone else.
- layer8 4y agoWhen I started using mutt ~25 years ago, I took one or two afternoons to read through the manual and to configure everything the way I wanted. That was a good time investment. I rarely changed anything since then. :)
