Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
I used pine 20 years ago, but I don't think I've ever tried mutt.
starting
mutt, and doing "?" showed page after page of cryptic keyboard
commands, but
i didn't see anything that told how to setup account, like IMAP
accounts..
where would one go to find a good HOW-TO..

I used to use pine too - loved it. I switched to mutt shortly after
college at the encouragement of a number of coworkers. It was
unfortunately terrible for the first couple hours. Then someone gave
me their .muttrc and it was like the whole program transformed
instantly into a powerhouse. After that, you start tweaking the
config file slowly, and you eventually learn a good amount of ins and
outs.
These days people seem to enjoy posting their config files online with
screenshots, so you can see what you get. It's usually a good
starting place. I suppose this is why people call mutt a frontend to
a config file.

After that, check out the newbie guide to start tweaking.

The curve is a bit steep at first, but it's well worth it in the end.
