I did a podcast about Mutt earlier this year; you might find it helpful.
For a GUI mail client, I'm currently using Seamonkey because of the integration between the mail client and the browser, but I really like Claws/Sylpheed.
But people who used Pine in their early Internet-years will tell you the same about their mailer as we do about mutt. The “philosophy” (whatever that is) appears to be different, the handling of the editors is very different in a way, that you have to accustom to each one. This takes time and rare are the people who took the trouble to thoroughly stress both programs in a way that allows comparable results.
You can base your decisions on what's written on the Internet, but in a forum like this, you only find people who use one or the other, I bet. What shall we do with that? Count users?
