  frankly from what I have understood the situation, mutt-ng is being
  developed or used by people, who think that implementation of various
  patches into mutt-devel is too slow for them. I do think that all
  changes in mutt-ng will be sooner or later also implemented into
  mutt-devel. So it is not importnat which mutt one is using.. -devel or
  -ng :).

good night,

Just build mutt-devel with WITH_MUTT_IMAP_HEADER_CACHE=yes (it's been
an option since 2003).  Actually it'd be nice if those were converted
to OPTIONS so people knew about them.

  I have switched from mutt-devel to this baby.. it is pretty good, and
  it offers few things I was missing in mutt-devel, like imap headers
  caching etc.

  One can switch between mutt-devel and mutt-ng pretty easily.. there is
  also good script to convert .muttrc config file into .muttngrc.

  For more information go to http://mutt-ng.berlios.de/.

Cheers,
Martin

Hey, sorry about hte newbie question.

I want to install mutt but what is the difference between them?

mutt
   



This is a stable but somewhat oldish release of mutt.

 


mutt-devel
   



This is a development version of mutt.  Is newer and has more features than
plain mail/mutt, but has possibly more bugs too.

 


mutt-lite
   



This is the same program as mail/mutt but with several optional features
turned off.

 


mutt-ng
   



This is a branch of mutt, that tries to incorporate various patches that are
floating around.  What I wrote above about mail/mutt-devel applies here too,
only more so.

 


mutt_vc_query
   



Seems to be some utility for mutt to handle vCard stuff; not mutt itself.


Personally I use mail/mutt-devel and am quite happy with it.
At this point in time mail/mutt-ng feels a bit too experimental for my taste
while mail/mutt is a bit too old and lacks some features I like.
