Mutt is a fast, standards-compliant, efficient MUA (Mail User Agent). In some areas it works better than Thunderbird+Enigmail, and is certainly faster and more responsive.
Mutt lacks true MTA (Message Transfer Agent aka "SMTP client") and MRA (Mail Retrieval Agent aka "IMAP/POP3 client"), thus there are some provisions built-in. In principle it is only mail reader and composer. You may install true MTA such as [Postfix](/wiki/Postfix) or Exim and MRA such as [Fetchmail](/wiki/Fetchmail).

[Fetchmail](/wiki/Fetchmail). Alternativelly you can synchronize your mailbox
using [OfflineIMAP](https://github.com/OfflineIMAP/offlineimap) and just stick
to integrated SMTP support. You can even use itegrated IMAP client, but it is
not very convenient.
