I don’t use the combo anymore, but there is sometime affirming to me about Mutt still being relevant after all this time. Good tools that do a good job are still valuable. Yes! That should be the standard to aspire to with all software. Not the constant change for the sake of change. I set up a very highly customized (simplified) mutt setup for my parents in 1996 and the exact same setup continues to work today and my now-almost-100 year old parent continues to use it. Anyone who has tried to keep older people using software knows the nightmare of UI changes. Even a small movement in the placement of icons is a big hill to climb. Consistency is key. My parent has given up on using the web because both the browser and website UIs keep changing all the time, it becomes too frustrating for them. So they gave up. But thanks to mutt they continue to use email actively, nothing has changed since 1996 when they memorized how to use it.
