Mutt follows the Unix philosophy of doing one thing, and doing it well. My
current setup is Mutt for reading/composing email, fetchmail to download,
procmail to sort, exim to send. In this way, I can swap any component that I
like and I don't lose my other specialists. Far superior to a monolithic
application that tries to do it all, and does it badly.
