@schlink I use Mutt alongside Thunderbird and enjoy using both. Mutt is great for processing a lot of mail. Thunderbird is a decent graphical client.

Feel free to ping with questions about how I use mutt.

@schlink @beli3ver is a fan of Mutt. You can ask him about his experiences :)

@schlink You might want to check out neomutt instead. It offers lots of features that standard mutt doesn't have unless you patch them in.

@schlink Regards Mutt, my Boyf swears by it but his Linux Fu is *strong*. If you are confident in your Linux Fu and also dont mind copy/pasting #every# url link from emails, then you might love it.

@schlink It's my preference if only because I work from several machines at once. Sorta painful with multiple email accounts -- I use separate config files and a multiplexer (screen).

I'm a vim fanatic, so Mutt caters to that rather nicely.

@schlink I just switched to Mutt a couple of weeks ago, and I've been really enjoying it so far. I think it really shines when combined with email in an offline database with mbsync or similar—that way, you have a full archive/backup and can work offline if necessary.

My setup uses mbsync to make a local maildir for a couple of accounts, Mutt as the mail client, and Mu for searching/indexing, loosely inspired by https://webgefrickel.de/blog/a-modern-mutt-setup (though without some of the more advanced setup (yet!))
