mutt deficiencies - some idle thoughts
Raw
gistfile1.md

Deficiencies with mutt:

  • sending is either synchronous or basically throwaway - I have to remember to check syslog to see whether my message was sent??
  • mbox and maildir suck
  • doesn't seem to have a plugin system really - extensions are compiled in?
  • flexibility has a cost - a single back-end and a single protocol set (e.g. always TLS, IMAP and SMTP) could cover most cases and simplify substantially
  • difficult to have secure storage
