It might not have helped that my work's server used a custom IMAP namespace either.
I suspect that may have been your only problem. I set "folder" to "imaps://hostname.of.mailserver", set an imap_user and an imap_pass and away it goes. No external program required.
You do need an external program (muttprofile) to switch between profiles/servers though, and that does take some setting up.
I'm not sure about images, but mutt has a really fantastic auto_view feature...
Whoa, never knew this existed. Thank you sir!
(What do you use to expand Word documents?)
That is the beauty of mutt, I have my configuration save on a git repo, so it is trivial to get any new linux/similar OS to run locally mutt so that remote issue is not a problem
I do that for all my dot-files (including ~/.muttrc). Log in to a new system, svn checkout ~/src/env, run make install there and boom, it's like coming home. Wonderful.
Mutt sucks for IMAP.
Really? How so?
I use mutt to read IMAP mail from multiple accounts and I've never had any problems.
Genuinely curious what you mean.
But people that keep sending HTML messages are a bit annoying to read on mutt.
You could have left off the "to read on mutt" bit.

That should be "make -j dinner", obviously.
Elon Musk made a blog post about all this legal turmoil last month. Worth a read.
From that post:
Existing franchise dealers have a fundamental conflict of interest between selling gasoline cars, which constitute the vast majority of their business, and selling the new technology of electric cars. It is impossible for them to explain the advantages of going electric without simultaneously undermining their traditional business. This would leave the electric car without a fair opportunity to make its case to an unfamiliar public.
Which, IMHO, is bunk. Every car they are selling is different from every other, that's just product differentiation. Saying they can't sell electric cars without undermining their gasoline cars is like saying they can't sell white cars without undermining their red cars. I suspect this is Tesla Motors trying to keep the entire supply chain under control (and thereby not allowing third parties to add a little margin on top of the sales price).
The world looks to America to set a good example, and America leads by example.

Yes, Amsterdam has lots of bikes, but it also has many dedicated cycle paths and car drivers who are conditioned to expect cyclists everywhere. I doubt that the relatively low number of cyclists with head injuries is due to them not wearing helmets.
(BTW: protip, dear tourist: if you are in the Netherlands and the pavement under your feet has a reddish-brown color, you are probably standing on a cycle path. Get off unless you enjoy non-helmet wearing cyclists swearing at you).
Apparently, common sense isn't a requirement for a judge in the Netherlands. Here's what should have happened:
Judge: Your client made these files accessible on the world-wide web?
Lawyer: Yes your honor.
Judge: Without any sort of access control, like a login procedure or some such?
Lawyer: Yes your honor.
Judge: And now they're complaining that someone linked to them?
Lawyer: Yes your honor.
Judge: Please inform your client that he is an idiot. Case dismissed. *Bang*!
Find someone who is competetent at Unix system administration and willing to learn.
Really? I'm a Unix guy, and if someone asked me "are you competent at Unix system administration?" and "are you willing to learn?" I'd say yes to both questions and hope I wouldn't have to deal with Windows too much. Especially if I really needed or wanted the job.
Not sure this is the right way to go about it. Looking for a "Windows fan" as the OP put it seems like a better bet.
I find it telling that Windows "professionals" object to being called a Windows "fan".
"Yes, I make a living off of Windows. Doesn't mean I have to enjoy it."
Linux kicks ass in certain areas, embedded, servers, HPCs, its just not a great desktop.
It is too a great desktop, I've been using it as such for, oh, 15 years now. It has just one thing going against it: it's not Windows. That means 1. little Johnny from next door can't help you out when you screw things up, and 2. it won't run Windows applications (at least not well), so it's not easy to exchange documents between you and people who do use Windows.
If there was only Linux on the desktop, people would be just as happy with it as they are with Windows. But it's a Windows world, so you might as well go with the flow and use it too, and there's nothing wrong with that.
But I maintain that from a pure usability viewpoint Linux-on-the-desktop is just fine.
(Caveat: talking about the classic Gnome 2/Windows 7-like interface. Haven't used Unity or Windows 8 for any length of time, and not planning to.)
You have to have a reason to play games? And it has to be the right reason?
Damn. All those wasted years, doing it wrong...
