Re: [orca-list] Pondering a new email client.

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

Actually, I use mutt with IMAP and can navigate the various subfolders 
nicely without any trouble.  At this time, I use separate .muttrc files 
for each account (I have two of them.) and use aliases to start each 
instance of mutt.  There may be an easier way to do this but I just 
haven't bothered yet to figure that out.  One thing about doing it this 
way, I can get to my mail folders on any box that connects to the IMAP 
server.

I have used mutt inside a gnome terminal before and one nice thing when 
doing this is I can use flat review to read through a message and if I 
end up on a link, I can right click it and pick 'open link' and have it 
pop me right into Firefox.  That works great as long as the URL doesn't 
slop over to the next line.
