There are several slightly less hardcore alternatives to Mutt for those wanting a more modern e-mail experience without the security baggage of running an entire browser. Sylpheed for instance is a very pleasant text-only MUA (http://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/en/). For added peace of mind it does not take long to write an AppArmor profile to further confine Sylpheed to just the parts of your filesystem you'd like it to be able to access.

Text-only? I could have sworn sylpheed was a GUI program.

Do you have an example? Sounds like a pretty awesome setup that you should share.

I will see if I can get it tidied up enough I'd be comfortable sharing :)
