I agree with what you're saying. I tried Mutt (which took me about a week to
set up), then tried Cone (which had problems sending) and i switched to Alpine
and haven't looked back.

Some things in alpine i think are a bit old fashioned BUT all well tried and
tested... and a friendly bunch of maillist folk to help in the unlikely event
of getting stuck with the very helpful documentation. Each new release and all
i do is copy across my pinerc file to /home. Vim is popular as the editor
although pico is fine for emails.
