I don’t know what I’d do without Mutt. It’s the only really good email client I’ve ever encountered. Just read the release notes in the OA: the attention to detail and concern with standards. Thank you so much for the work you do on Mutt.

Mutt is great, I've used it for many years and I love the interface.

A good alternative, if you are looking, is Notmuch. In fact, the Notmuch engine (there's also a Notmuch Emacs mode, and many other frontends) is frequently used in conjunction with Mutt and also powers NeoMutt.

Is there a way you deal with multiple email accounts? I found this to be the hardest thing when using mutt (neomutt). Clunky macros to change accounts.

The second hardest thing was actually streamlining using it with gmail accounts.

I just have all my email forwarded to the same account, so I don’t have any good tips for that. When I need to check another account directly I just open a new Mutt. Gmail has an imap interface.
