Heh. My progression of mail client use has been:

- mail/mailx
- elm
- pine
- mutt
- mutt + evolution, depending on whether I'm local or remote.

I'm now flipping back and forth between mutt, evolution, and squirrelmail,
depending on where I am and what kind of environment I have available, all
three bolting up to courier-imap (I would LOVE to see that added as an
alternative IMAP daemon to the regular distribution, ala Postfix vs.
Sendmail).

I'm not a mutthead; hell, I barely understand half of it. But when I was
messing around with Maildir delivery, I got sick of reworking the maildir
c-client patches over and over; mutt solved that problem pretty quickly.
Threading is good, color-matching is easily configured, but (in my mind) it
suffers from the configurable-everything problem. If that's not a problem
for you (and it usually isn't for the average geek like most of us here),
you'll probably be right at home.
