Heh, I love Mutt, and will stay with it. Pine is user friendly but
bloated, not developed so much (hmm, no CVS, snapshots, beta versions,
latest release from january...), no COLORS (argh) etc. I'm using Exim
as the MTA, so I'm really not concerned, but some people seem to have
problems to get it working like Pine, because it's definitely not user
friendly. It's very hard to see a newbie editing a config file, no? Or
editing a sendmail.cf just to use a program. But if it's just to let
Mutt to be only a MUA, leave it as it is (and, please, don't remove the
pop3 stuff :P).
Ah, yes, I never liked this send-mail folder rotation.
