Yup!

I grew up with pine, until its limitations left me pining for something
better... (har har)  I tried several alternatives but didn't like any of
them, until I met mutt. Mutt is far more configurable than pine, and can
handle a lot of stuff pine can't (this was over a decade ago, though, I
don't know if this is still true... or if pine even exists anymore).

I hate leaving my mail on some remote mailserver; I like keeping it all
on my home PC (so that they are always accessible even if my 'Net
connection goes down every now and then). So I set up my MX to deliver
all mail to my PC, and I check mail with ssh/mutt. Nowadays I can even
do this from my Android phone, though the low resolution and lack of a
real keyboard does make it rather awkward to use.

The website is too GUI-like for my tastes. I prefer doing everything
from mutt. :)
