So does mutt suck or not?
If you work with vi and like it, chances are you will also like mutt.
Personally I *love* mutt! No extra fat. Always on the spot. It is "liberal in what it receives and conservative in how it sends". Since it is command line program, I can run it almost everywhere.
It supports local mailboxes, SMTP, POP and IMAP as well as S/MIME and PGP. You can highly customize it, if you want to with rules per folder, per sender adress etc. pp.
Just like vi it takes a while until you have internalized the (invisible) interface. Once you've moved beyond that point you will experience an enormous boost in efficency.
If you want to, ping me offline and I will share my mutt config. That should make it easier to start using it.

FWIW, I use claws, which is about the only one not mentioned.
I don't like Thunderbird. For one thing, it is in caretaker status. Mozilla believes Web based mail is the "future." I rather not run roundcube, given I got hacked via an unpatched roundcube back when I was using a hosting company. Webmail just increases your attack surface.
Thanks.
My reason for exploring Alpine is I'm moving away from Claws, for non-technical reasons I won't burden this list with.
Thanks,
