The "problem" with mutt is that if you are used to something else, you need to re-train yourself a bit. The correct way would be to addapt your muttrc. I however can imagine that can be a bit over the top if you are a new Mutt user.
Exactly.
Especially the foldor-hook I found chalaging at first. What I do is I use 4 × wmbiff to show me where new mail arrives and they open with e.g. `aterm -geometry 80x79 -sb -T 'openSUSE' -name mutt -fade 50 -e mutt -f /home/houghi/Mail/opensuse`
Or in short with `... -f mailboxX` and `... -f mailboxY`. Together with the use of procmail and mailrc it comes nice together. http://houghi.org/shots/mutt002.gif as how I see the mail.
That part is similar to Pine. However, in Pine I don't need to specify the folder in the command line, I simply navigate to it, or click on it.
The most important thing is personalizing your muttrc. Once that is done, it is a great tool.
I have no doubt! I'm sure it is a very good program, just that... it doesn't match my mindset, I prefer Pine. Pine is not perfect, but it matchs better.
I started with pine, but never could get the hang of it and could not get used to it after trying it out for 2 or 3 weeks. Mutt was something I could use directly.
To me, it's the other way round :-)
Oh well, as long as there is choice, to each his or her own. :-)
Exactly! :-) - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFEIz6RtTMYHG2NR9URAhwKAJ4phMr6XxvNcR+bVtK5riWt3MvlNgCaA/sX e3nD5VZo/k2vcwnRFGiW6Zg= =xbFr -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
