Mutt's awesome. I use it many times a day. I also use a phone client -- K9-mail -- because it's better on my phone's hardware than mutt (via ssh) is. I also, less regularly, use rainloop, a web client. All of them are swell. Only mutt can handle 500,000 pieces of mail in an archive in a way that is both performant and reasonable for something other than "search and destroy". -dsr-
