Mutt i found a pain to set up and TOO configurable for me. Alpine is
also highly configurable but v.simple to set up with just an .rc file
which can be done whilst running the program. What i like with xubuntu
and six month releases; is that Alpine is just installed and the
pinerc file copied over - that is it... 10 secs to set up. Even less
for you if you want a copy of my .pinerc. That is if one uses it
remotely...straight to the server rather than downloading headers. I
also reckoned that Alpine was faster than Mutt. Both work well with
vim for emails. Alpine is better imo and is a university/corporate
mailing client. Alpine has just been updated so check on the website
for the latest as repos probably won't have it yet.

When one first uses a text email client it seems rather old fashioned
but you'll soon get used to it. I found evolution and thunderbird far
too slow for imap. Alpine user list on google and a lot of helpful
friendly folk from UW.
