mutt vs Outlook

2009-08-28

Having switched from Microsoft Outlook to Mutt, I've been pretty happy with the experience so far. The biggest pain points are creating formatting mails and forwarding formatted mails but that's manageable for me.

To help others evaluate if they should make the switch, I've evaluated both products on a number of key features. I have tried to be as unbiased in the ratings as I can.

As you can see, the summary seems to give mutt the lead but this should be taken with a grain of salt. Everyone has different requirements and so you should consider only the features useful to you and come to your own conclusions.
