#2"Maintainer Update
This obviously isn't a feature, but I wanted to mention that I will be moving away from Mutt maintainership after this release. There isn't a transition plan, so I'll keep maintaining the 2.2.x series with bug fixes and security issues.
It's been my pleasure to keep the releases coming since version 1.5.24. Unfortunately the past year, my time and energy available has been decreasing. So my plan is to focus the time I do have on keeping Mutt stable, secure, and bug free; until someone else has the desire to head up (and support) new-feature releases. Thank you everyone! "
Thanks Kevin !

#3I’d love to see a setup where I could keep the emails on a Linux box in the house (the messages are fetched regularly from the “real” email server), you know what I mean?
Sending would probably be easier ( use a real smtp server)…

Neither a mutt, nor an offlineimap user, but I believe those two are often used in combination: http://www.offlineimap.org/

#5I don’t know what I’d do without Mutt. It’s the only really good email client I’ve ever encountered. Just read the release notes in the OA: the attention to detail and concern with standards. Thank you so much for the work you do on Mutt.

I use mbsync (formerly isync) to synchronize multiple external mailboxes to a local Maildir store. I use it with mu4e, but it'd work fine with mutt or any other client that supports Maildir.

Sounds like something you'd use getmail, fetchmail, or another mail retrieval agent for: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getmail

getmail, fetchmail, and offlineimap all work well for this. I currently use getmail and offlineimap (on different boxes) to fetch emails over IMAP, and configure mutt to use my usual smtp to send.

I use offlineimap with bower[0], it works well.

I pair this with imapnotify (keeps a constant connection to each of the IMAP servers for the email addresses I have) that calls mbsync the moment I get a new email. It was a bit annoying to set up at the time but now my (neo)mutt client updates pretty much instantly with any new email.
