My reason for switching to a text based mail client (from gmail) was
that i had to use 32kbps internet for a while. Loading gmail was a pain,
and looking for options, i found alpine and mutt.

Now, text interfaces are my preference, firstly because my computer is
an old p4 with 1 gig of ram. And secondly, they fit nicely into tmux
(earlier screen).
