Mutt, a command-line email client, can do anything a desktop client can with less overhead and a smaller attack surface. Here's how to get started.
I subscribe to half a dozen forums for email distribution. Hardly a week goes by without one of them including a complaint about a desktop email client like KMail or Thunderbird. For many, the ultimate solution is to go back to simpler days and install Mutt [1]. Not only does the command-line interface give users full control over the settings, but Mutt's lack of a prepackaged rendering engine for web browsers or a JavaScript interpreter makes for a smaller attack surface. Another major advantage is its smaller, more consistent memory usage.
