mutt: A thing of beauty is a joy forever
Thursday, March 9th, 2006
Nick Gerakines has had a gutful 
of Mail.app.
“I’ve become sick and tired of Mail.app crashing and failing”, he writes.
So he is returning to an old favourite and he is liking what he sees after a few years away with other email clients:
I’ve used everything from Gmail, Yahoo Mail, Mail.app, Evolution, Thunderbird, Entourage and even Squirrelmail. None of them, however, compare to the simplicity and security that I have with mutt.
He outlines how he has set up mutt to run on his Mac, and how it co-operates with fetchmail, procmail and postfix to deliver just the email experience that he likes.
He promises to post more detailed howtos soon.
