Very. But you want to use the development version (1.5.14 at the
moment).

Because it is the most versatile and configurable mail client which is
out there. I don't know of any other mail client coming close to the
features mutt has. Though it still stinks in some parts. As Michael
Elkins said 12 years ago:

``All mail clients suck.  This one just sucks less.'' -me, circa 1995

And that is just true. Still. 

But they really could release 1.6.x, as 1.4.x is just too old and misses
many imap features (and header caching) which 1.5.x already has.

Oh, before someone hits me: Yes, Gnus is the one mail client which can
do all the stuff mutt can't. But it needs Emacs as its operating system.
