Also, @ Joe Philbrook
Firstly, Alpine isn't maintained anymore.
Secondly, mutt is much more configurable and more help is available for
it on the net.
Before using mutt, i had tried alpine, but didn't like it much (mainly
because text based mail interfaces were new and strange to me, due to
switching from gmail's interface). But, then i found that it wasn't
being developed anymore, and i don't like to use outdated software,
especially which require interaction with the internet.
Configuring mutt was a pain, but well worth it.
