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!)
...Maybe is not really easy&handly, must agree. Do so: "What is the your dream in matter of mail clients?". "Something like Mutt. But in a handly X environment!". <p>>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"
Yes. I remember something like "All mail clients sucks; Mutt sucks less"; (it is not really crucial:) --- there's somebody in list that can remember the exact phrase of the hell? Please, help to leave us the doubt!!). However, it's right your view: maybe it's better have more than just one solution and in a free context it is naturally and mandatory at all to have multiple choices (the good and the bad of the free context)...Something of my primary idea remains to me: we need something strong, in X, for the next years.
