Does anyone use Mutt with SMIME and GPG? Do you like it? I need a mailer with SMIME support for work. I am currently using thunderbird and would love an alternative.
I've been doing gpg and smime for many years; in the contrib/ folder in the dist tarball, you'll find a "gpg.rc" and "smime.rc". I don't think I've changed more than a couple of minor settings in those files; I just use muttrc's include directive and then override a couple of settings in my main muttrc. With those settings gpg mail is very simple to do, and of course since its mutt its endlessly configurable if you n…
I use it daily. It's a lovely email client. Close to the Unix ideal of doing one thing, and doing it well. Integration with other utilities (notmuch, isync) for indexing and sync'ing is very easy, thanks to close adherence to Unix principles, and gets you a very neat setup. Nothing to envy from Gmail.
I wish I could interface NNTP and RSS feeds with Mutt somehow.
Wow, this takes me back. Like someone else posted here, to around 2007 or so, which is when it was last updated. Good to have this, although most of what I get these days (work-wise) is HTML-formatted or otherwise challenging from a readability perspective. I fully intend to give this a go against my mail archive (which goes back to '98, and which I currently access via Thunderbird, running inside a VNC server on an…
if you haven't already, have a look at w3m [1] or similar. I use mail cap to route emails though w3m and it's pretty rare that I notice anything amiss. `text/html; w3m -I %{charset} -T text/html; copiousoutput;` [1] http://w3m.sourceforge.net/
I'm still rocking the (al)pine when I need to read the inbox on a headless/ssh server.
I use alpine as my main everyday email client. I have it integrated with a browser for those annoying HTML emails that it can't interpret, but it can handle most HTML emails.
I think it has some psychologic benefit to help me calm down and read the big pile of mails.
Alpine is currently maintained by Eduardo Chappa.
I just committed a patch about LDAP. Eduardo Chappa is a very diligent developer.
Marissa Mayer prefers Pine to Gmail
[mayer]Marissa Mayer, VP, Search Products and User Experience at Google confesses to CNN Money that she doesn't use Gmail for her business mail.
"I don't feel overwhelmed with information. I really like it. I use Gmail for my personal e-mail -- 15 to 20 e-mails a day -- but on my work e-mail I get as many as 700 to 800 a day, so I need something really fast. I use an e-mail application called Pine, a Linux-based utility I started using in college. It's a very simple text-based mailer in a crunchy little terminal window with Courier fonts. I do marathon e-mail catch-up sessions, sometimes on a Saturday or Sunday. I'll just sit down and do e-mail for ten to 14 hours straight."
Pine is a mail program developed at the University of Washington. It has a lot of keyboard shortcuts and countless ways to sort, shuffle, and sift through your email.
I love mutt and use it as my primary email client. I got too frustrated with gmail's interface changing all the time and Apple's Mail.app introducing regressions each release. You can't beat mutt's speed and stability. I do wish that there was an option to treat threads as the primary unit, like gmail and sup ( http://supmua.org ). The threading support isn't bad, but expanding and collapsing threads in the index vie…
I don't hear that often from people, but that was also one of the motivations for me to switch to mutt.

> Close to the Unix ideal of doing one thing, and doing it well. In my opinion this concept does not work for most non-cli programs. How do you actually define this "one thing"? Is "reading an email" one thing? And "writing an email" another thing? What about "spellchecking the email"? What about "managing all my email contacts"? What about "back up my emails"? What about "sign email with GPG"? Do all of these things…
> Is "reading an email" one thing? That's essentially what Mutt does. But you could also use other programs to parse and read each email file if you wish. "Fetching email" can also be a different thing. I use offlineimap for that purpose and store my messages in the Maildir format. > And "writing an email" another thing? Yes. Even "sending an email" is another thing. The program that edits my emails (vim) is not the…
