Mutt is terminal based and has lots of keyboard shortcuts and we can make it behave like traditional pine or vim-like (j/k for down/up) or emacs-like. If you are a pine-user, then following advantages of mutt are likely to be attractive. - Can save/pick attachments from our current PC (instead of email-server). - Can open attachments directly without having to save the pdf/doc/jpg files - Use your favorite editor for writing emails (emacs/vim/nano) - Delete just one or more attachments (to save space) - Use tab for completion (like bash) for email-addresses, folder-names, etc. - Search through emails: either just subject field, or to-field, or entire header, or entire body. (I used search "Alpine in header" to find your email-addresses.) Applying filters is really very easy. - Different colours for replied/unread/etc - Edit an email directly (to put a more suggestive subject to help in searches, etc.) Or edit any email in the INBOX and make it look as unread. - Attach multiple files from the command line and then start writing in the body. - Attach one or more files and send to recipients: all specified from command line in a very non-interactive mode (for saving time). - Can tag multiple emails and save them all into a folder, or reply-all (and edit later which email addresses should really be sent, etc.) - Sort emails based on size or sender or subject or thread. (sorting based on size helps in deleting the largest unwanted attachments ONLY) I personally feel the presence of keyboard shortcuts helps in saving our time in browsing/searching through emails. If you can install mutt in linux, it will be better. Mutt is already there in bhairav. One can use mutt to read gpo email id too. I am keeping/updating some files at https://www.ee.iitb.ac.in/~belur/foss/mutt/ I look forward to increasing mutt-usage to make our email browsing efficient and faster.
