Yes, mutt is great! :-)

Btw, you can use mutt with dovecot without running dovecot as a daemon/server, by putting this in your .muttrc:

set tunnel="MAIL=/home/geert/mbox /usr/pkg/libexec/dovecot/imap"

(adapt paths for your own system)

This way mutt will talk to the dovecot imap binary via stdin/stdout. This will also work over ssh. This way you don't need to run dovecot as a server and you still benefit from eg. the cache etc.
