I used mutt a few months ago but gave up on it because I couldn't figure out how to do things that I could easily do with pine. This month I finally had the time to sit down for a few hours and carefully read through the mutt manual so that I could configure everything just how I needed it (remember my earlier posts about configuring vim to do paragraph formatting even with quoted text, viewing images on my desktop by ZMODEM send over ssh, etc.). I think that mutt is a good e-mail client, but the default configuration is sub-optimal (vim doesn't format paragraphs well by default, some of the key bindings are counterintuitive IMHO, etc.). In order for a newer user to get into mutt, he has to be able to use it how he wants. My next mutt project: SSH-before-WWW (inspired by POP-before-SMTP). I have been using ZMODEM to send attachments back to my desktop for saving/displaying, but ZMODEM doesn't work ever since I started running mutt in screen. Instead of using ZMODEM, I'm going to put the files into a directory on my web server; this directory will be protected such that only IP addresses currently logged into my account can view it.
