Mutt 2.2.0 (opens in new tab)

"Maintainer Update

This obviously isn't a feature, but I wanted to mention that I will be moving away from Mutt maintainership after this release. There isn't a transition plan, so I'll keep maintaining the 2.2.x series with bug fixes and security issues.

It's been my pleasure to keep the releases coming since version 1.5.24. Unfortunately the past year, my time and energy available has been decreasing. So my plan is to focus the time I do have on keeping Mutt stable, secure, and bug free; until someone else has the desire to head up (and support) new-feature releases. Thank you everyone! "

Thanks Kevin !

I think it's always worth mentioning neomutt[1] when mutt comes up these days. Development is fairly active [2] and a lot of patches that people have been working on over the years have been merged, like the various header compression techniques, sidebar, search and unified inbox with notmuch etc.

I don’t know what I’d do without Mutt. It’s the only really good email client I’ve ever encountered. Just read the release notes in the OA: the attention to detail and concern with standards. Thank you so much for the work you do on Mutt.

Nice, thank you for your hard work maintaining this. I love mutt, use it as my daily driver. I hope we can find a new maintainer soon. I definitely would put my hand up if it weren’t for the fact that I am not very good in C.

I’d love to see a setup where I could keep the emails on a Linux box in the house (the messages are fetched regularly from the “real” email server), you know what I mean?

Sending would probably be easier ( use a real smtp server)…

I sometimes wonder if mutt is still pg's email client of choice. And if he's still using his bayesian spam filter.
