I've found every email client, mutt included, to be exceedingly difficult when trying to view your replies in the context of email thread. Gmail is the only one that does this seamlessly. If you get a ton of email, but never reply, or fire off so many replies that you never look back on them, maybe mutt works for you. For me the value of email and email clients is viewing the conversation as a thread, which importantly, must include my replies. You can find a few blog posts about configuring Mutt this way, it's complicated, convoluted, and always has side effects, like bcc'ing yourself. Outlook isn't all that much better in this regard as well, it does show your replies, but seems to loose them, or omit many from the thread.
