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 (<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;sylpheed.sraoss.jp&#x2F;en&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;sylpheed.sraoss.jp&#x2F;en&#x2F;</a>). 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&#x27;d like it to be able to access.
