Hi kalle,
the manual is an excellent resource but difficult for new users. The
Arch wiki might be a better place to start.
https://wiki/archlinux.org/index.php/Mutt
Or
https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Mutt/
My set up is a combination of neomutt, msmtp to send mail, getmail to
get mail and vim to write mail. Mutt can of course send and get mail
itself. It's your choice how you organise your email. Start off simply,
send yourself an email and see if things work. Other good resources are
listed in the Arch wiki.
By the way Thunderbird uses another email format than Mutt. mb2md can be
used to convert to the Maildir format.

hello,
In the manual v.1.9.2, chapter "2.1 Index" it says
"The index is the screen that you usually see first when you start
Mutt. It gives an overview over your emails in the currently opened
mailbox."
The problem is: there are no mails to see, because there is no mailbox
of mine open and I don't know how to do this.
It is the third time already that I try to learn mutt but having no
mails to start with, not knowing what is meant by a 'mailbox' and how
to administrate it, even when reading in the newbie manual not getting
to a point.
I usually use thunderbird and thus already have some experience with
e-mail, but what I got from trying to learn mutt is just depressing
for me.
greetings,
kalle
