Mutt's awesome. I use it many times a day.

I also use a phone client -- K9-mail -- because it's better on
my phone's hardware than mutt (via ssh) is.

I also, less regularly, use rainloop, a web client.

All of them are swell.

Only mutt can handle 500,000 pieces of mail in an archive in a
way that is both performant and reasonable for something other
than "search and destroy".
