Well, you have lots of questions. Answering all in once:
1- 10 fingers are faster than 2 (keyboard versus mouse)
2- If you know regular expressions, you can do some pretty
nice stuff with mutt
3- I never found an e-mail client that would give me 1 tenth of the
productivity I have with mutt
4- My .muttrc file is VERY customized, result of at least 5 years.
I also have some small patches I created for Mutt itself I use here.
And I DON'T use Mutt 1.4. Mutt 1.5 is MUCH better.
My Mutt patches are mostly regarding pgp/gnupg support.
5- My Mutt window is 80x54. Works great.
6- I use the internal pages (for displaying) and VIM for editing
7- Some trick with .mailcap are nice for viewing HTML messages, as well
as vcards and other stuff. Here is a free sample:
text/html;w3m -O utf-8 -I %{charset} -dump %s;copiousoutput;nametemplate=%s.html
I use a fetchmail + procmail + mutt combo here, in case you are wondering.
My procmail rules are (again) very customized. I actually have started
mixing "screen" to this combo lately, which is great when I want
to access my mail remotely.
Lets face it, Mutt default configuration sucks. It takes some time and
some learning to reach peak productivity. But it is very worth it.
And last, regarding Mutt (by its author):
"All mail clients suck. This one just sucks less.", circa 1995
