  2. Mutt is my MUA of choice by Alain+Williams · · Score: 3, Insightful

    for 15+ years, after elm and before that mush. Not having to find and wiggle the mouse makes it fast, as does it being a CHUI (CHaracter UI) - especially when ssh-ed in from somewhere.

  3. and yet another attempt is made. by nimbius · · Score: 5, Funny

    Every time i see someone at work using mutt, or its recommended online, my general inclination is to give it a go. This time will be different, and ill finally get the hang of one of the most powerful and flexible email clients ever written!

    2 months later ive deleted send mail, spawned 52 deleted mail boxes and permanently added 50 megs of /dev/urandom to my sig. I can send an email but it requires connecting to my localhost, which in turn connects to the server, then gets routed through my cat (the part that survived configuring) and across the internet to the receiving MTA. Fortunately for the past 20 or so messages, German chancellor Angela Merkel has kindly forwarded my correspondence to the intended recipient. Im hopeful I'll learn how to enable GPG and threads before food runs out.

    Because mutt is amazing software.

    Fun fact, this "preview branch" (it's not a preview branch) was branched in 2002.

  5. Re:Does it offload work to the IMAP server yet? by Celarent+Darii · · Score: 3, Informative

    For IMAP, just turn off the cache if you don't want them on your local machine. It is sometimes good to just cache the headers for quicker look, especially if you file commit messages to folders.

    Mutt can offload searches to IMAP, and do many wonderful things:

    If you want to avoid prefetch, work with =h and =b instead: this leaves the search on the server (if it supports it), but notice that it's literal string only, no regular expression. Note that this feature is not available before version 1.5.11.
