Yes, I still remember discussions about email clients with this FreeBSD core developer trying to convince us at the time that Mutt is better than any graphical client, especially because of the way it handles threads. To me at the time were empty words, why on earth I would wanna use a terminal-client in an HTML5 world? Well now that Mail.app started giving me the creeps after the volume of email increased, I'm slowly reconsidering... And although will be a steep learning curve, I'm seriously thinking of switching to mutt...

I did this about a month ago and am still using it. mutt is the only thing that 1) I feel comfortable with; and 2) works with GPGTools.

Airmail would make a good alternative if it supported GPGTools :-(

I'm waiting for Mailpile[1] too.
