Mutt is a small but very powerful text-based mail client for Unix operating systems. It is great for testing mail server setups and sending email messages via the command line.
The mutt command is a text-based, full-screen mail user agent for reading and send email. The interface is quick and efficient.
Type mutt to start the mail program. Click the up and down arrow keys to select from your listed messages. Press Enter to see a mail message and type i to return to the Main menu.
The menu bar indicates how to mark messages for deletion or undelete them, save messages to a directory, or reply to a message. Type m to compose a new message and it opens your default editor (say, vi or emacs) to create the message. Type y to send the message.
If you want to read mail without having your fingers leave your keyboard, mutt is a nice choice. Mutt can even handle attachments.
Note: To use mutt mail reader, you may have to install in manually on your Linux system. Many distributions include mutt by default.
