Re: any other accessible email client for linux?

Tim here.  I found that mutt/neomutt was a lousy mail program on its
own, but a great toolkit for building a good mail client from the
pieces it offered.  In other words, out of the box, it's rough,
relying on local mail delivery in your system mailbox and expecting
your local sendmail to be configured to let you fire off outbound
mail.

However, the configuration is so powerful that you can customize it
into a multi-account setup, accessing remote POP3/IMAP accounts as
easily as local mbox/maildir accounts, or accessing a local
mail-cache synched by things like offlineimap/mbsync.

It takes a lot more care and feeding than a friendlier MUA, but in
exchange, gives you a lot more power
