Text email clients revisited (Linux.com)

i am currently a satisfied mutt user, using it to connect via imap/ssl to
fastmail.fm as my "protocol provider". getting your rc files right for mutt
can be a bit of a pain, but once its done i was fine. i use emacs as my
editor for composing messages with a mode defined to provide some tweaks.

i did try to go the gnus and/or vm route within emacs but after trying for
some time to get it to work correctly with imap/ssl, i gave up, i don't see
myself trying again unless i can more or less copy config files from
someone else who has it working, although vm served me well for years when
i pop'd off to a local spool file.

one thing i like in particular about a service like fastmail is that i can
use mutt where i have it installed, but should i be on a computer anywhere
else, i can simply use their web interface.
