Mutt is a text-mode mail client with support for krb4-authenticated
IMAP, MH-style mailboxes, MIME, and PGP. I installed mutt 1.4 in the
sipb locker. Full documentation can be found in /mit/sipb/doc/mutt.
By default, mutt is configured to read mail directly off of your IMAP
server without downloading it to your home directory.
I will be getting rid of the install of mutt 1.3.x in the outland
locker sometime in the near future. The biggest user-visible
difference between the two is that krb4-authenticated connections will
be encrypted, but due to an unresolved bug, krb4-authenticated
connections cannot be layered over SSL. This will only negatively
affect users trying to use mutt from behind a NAT, but it will require
some people to change their mailbox/spoolfile URLs from imaps:// to
imap://.
