I'd like to thank mutt's new maintainer, Kevin McCarthy, for pushing mutt 1.6 out the door. It's been a long time coming!
No kidding! 9 years later.. Mutt 1.6.0 was released on April 4, 2016. Mutt 1.4.2.3 was released on June 9, 2007.

My first thought was, why is such an old changelog trending?Re: Mutt 1.6
#173Even more, I can still use mutt if I want to. But mu4e is so nicely integrated with the rest of Emacs that I think I'll keep using it.

#174March 8, 2006 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…
People often talk about Mayer as the pinnacle of work ethic, but it often sounds to me like she needs more "work smarter, not harder". 10-14 hours of email once a week sounds like a remarkably bad idea to me. (Yes, I know she's also phenomenally successful, but so are MANY more people that don't share her methods)
Not this guy, who worked at Google from the start:

I'm sorry -- what do you mean by "pull a Knuth"?
He processes mail by stack: have his secretary print out emails and put them together with snail mail on a stack. Look at the stack every few months. Urgent mail is expedited at his secretary's discretion, of course.

#176most desktop clients (mutt included) almost died when everyone moved to gmail and such. imap/pop access was too expensive (when compared to having a so-so UI for free) or not available. now that gmail and yahoomail give imap for free, they will surely comeback. see N1 for example.

#177I look at Mutt willingly once about every 3 months, but then I'm always put down because of the last of Snoozing (that I've know off). I rely heavily on Snoozing in my main account to order my tasks.
Is there any workflow with mutt that achieves a similar workflow where I can postpone emails to a later date?
Re: Mutt 1.6
#178I am a reluctant Mutt user. I prefer it to webmail but I prefer a good native gui client to either. It is a very flexible solution but is a big investment in configuration and keypress memory for a casual user. It is a relief to see it still being developed. So much seems abandoned these days with the bleed to web and mobile.

I don't think 1.4.2.3 was the last version before this one. The one in the Ubuntu Wily repositories for example is 1.5.23
1.5.X was a development series.

I've been using rss2email ( https://github.com/wking/rss2email ) to read rss feeds in mutt. It works well for me.
I actually use this already. I think my dissatisfaction with mutt + rss2email is more about RSS in general. It amounts to just being a short description of the article and a hyperlink, and at that point I might as well just load these websites in my browser. I need a better article scraper. General solutions that try to detect content, like Firefox's article mode and similar, don't do enough. We need youtube-dl for t…
