I adore MH-E! I tried Wanderlust recently, due to its ability to
interact with IMAP accounts. I gave up on it due to slowness and awkward
keystroke assignment.
There are things that do work a little better in Wanderl

It's been so many years since I last used xmh that I doubt I could give
an accurate assessment of it. But like you say, it's obsolete nowadays

I don't want to draw this out, but mutt is *so* much faster than any other
front end that anyone who wants to get through a large volume of mail quickly
really should check it out. It may be that there are some potential conflicts
with other MH programs, as Ken says, but it's possibly to make ri

We don't know your work flow. We don't know what features are important
to you. We don't know anything that could help us intelligently answer

exmh was the gateway drug that got me into (n)mh usage in the 1990s.
Once I realized that I wanted to compose in emacs, I switched slowly
to MH-E. (That transition was 15 years ago). I also helped that my first

There is a relatively active MH-E community; I'm a vi user myself, so I
never tried it. From what I can tell they've extended it to make up for
the deficiencies in MH;
