There is no doubt mutt is a very superior piece of software.
For quick handling of email it is a joy.
But I prefer to use a gui for writing new emails (as opposed
to replying to them) and to organise my mail in general. So I use
Kmail2, apart from it's bizarre behaviour under certain circumstances
it seems to me to be pretty good. (I intend to post about this
bizarreness when I can find out how to describe it in words!)

So I use both, and it is a credit to the community of people
who work on this stuff that I can use both without any problems
whatsoever.

Maybe the search for a single solution is doomed to failure ?
As the author of mutt says (apologies if quote is inexact)

"All mail programs suck; this one just sucks less"
