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.

Even 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.
March 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.
most 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.
I 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?
I 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…
