I've tried to switch to mutt but it's just to funky. The beauty of pine is that it can do all the zillion things that any other MUA can but the interface is clean and very easy to use.

Re: Shame about Pine Posted Oct 31, 2003 7:28 UTC (Fri) by set (guest, #4788) [Link] The first time I tried mutt, I didnt care for it. Whatever thedefault settings were, I found ugly, and I was used to pine. Then pine proved to be too slow at opening mailboxes with a thousand or so messages in. I re-examined mutt, and found that it is massively configurable. Starting with a config that mimiced pines interface, I organicly started to grow and modify my own interface, eg. adding vi style navigation. Mutt powers through mailboxes with 30k+ emails no problem, has powerful regex support at all levels, and I wouldnt go back for the world. Of course, my interface is so personalized that I cant claim any knowlege of a "mutt user interface", except how to alter it to suit my needs. A friend of mine was also a long time pine user, and after sharing my .muttrc, he quickly and easily moved over... (this looks too much like a mua war troll, but I really only started it to indicate that transitioning to mutt can be easier than it may initially appear.;)
