Thanks very much! I have not been able to see a recent listing of differences between mutt and neomutt so that is good to know that mutt may be enough for me (in terms of features). I will take a look there. Thanks also for your thoughts on my original topic.

Now, I know that sylpheed's mh structure is not exactly the same because it puts in some marks and sequences in each directory and does not touch the traditional .mh_sequences touch, but I do not see if that will matter much in terms of the conversion. > > Mutt will read mbox, Maildir and MH.
