The Mutt E-Mail Client

"All mail clients suck. This one just sucks less." -me, circa 1995


Latest News

Mutt 1.2.5 was released on July 28, 2000. This is the latest maintenance update of the stable branch of mutt, and this time, we really suggest that you update.

This release fixes at least one grave IMAP error which may lead to confusing display and other strangeness, and our instances of the "wuftpd format bug", which had (mostly) the effect that your IMAP server's operator could break into your computer with some work.

Mutt 1.2 was released on May 9, 2000. Note that this version contains several significant changes, and users should not upgrade without reading the and the README.UPGRADE file.

Features

Some of Mutt's features include:

demonstrating some of Mutt's capabilities are available.

Though written from scratch, Mutt's initial interface was based largely on the ELM mail client. To a large extent, Mutt is still very ELM-like in presentation of information in menus (and in fact, ELM users will find it quite painless to switch as the default key bindings are identical). As development progressed, features found in other popular clients such as PINE and MUSH have been added, the result being a hybrid, or "mutt." At present, it most closely resembles the SLRN news client. Mutt was originally written by Michael Elkins but is now developed and maintained by the members of the Mutt development mailing list.
