Talk:Mutt (email client)

message: Disclosure: While I have seen people use "foo sucks less", it could be just a local phenomenon. I'd best use google at some point to see if it's  mainstream. Kim Bruning 09:56, 3 Apr 2004 (UTC)

message: Mutt is a pure Mail User Agent (MUA) and cannot send e-mail in isolation
That's no longer true I'd say. As of 1.5.16, mutt sports a simple smtp solution, reflected by the muttrc setting 'set smtp_url=...'

message: Does anyone know if MUTT is an acronym? If not, why does this email client have this weird name?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.161.12.244 (talk) 13:05, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

message: The current mutt's screenshot shows a link that leads to a pornographic website. Should it be removed? --213.140.19.123 (talk) 00:26, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Fortunately, this URL is not pornographic per se (i.e. it does not contain ASCII art porn or other arousing material), and URLs in images are not clickable, and that server went offline in the meantime. So let us just leave this screenshot where it is – it is a fine example of Mutt's safe handling of spam and phishing e-mails by converting HTML to plain text. --Thüringer ☼ (talk) 20:38, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mutt screenshot 

message: The article says Developed by: Brendan Cully.
According to the change history, this guy "released" one recent version.
But the man page of my version (1.5.13, late 2006) says Author: Michael Elkins, and others
and the documentation lists seven people having copyright:
(Michael R. Elkins,
Brandon Long,
Thomas Roessler,
Werner Koch,
Brendan Cully,
Tommi Komulainen,
and
Edmund Grimley Evans).
So — should the article be changed?

text: Not sending mail by itself is an example of "do one thing and do it well", not of "worse is better". What is the connection? Guacamel (talk) 23:52, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

message: That needs a reliable source, preferably with a screenshot to show that the interface has radically changed.  Elm's interface is quite different, though it's possible that the initial version of Mutt may have looked similar. TEDickey (talk) 13:12, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

message: At this point, after some hours of research, it looks like Mutt is not really full IMAP-capable, but only to access pre-told folders. --Itu (talk) 14:48, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
