My version of mutt doesn't.  I have configured it to use msmtp, a simple sm=
pt
client, and it reads incoming mail that is delivered via
fetchmail->procmail->MailDir.  That's how I've used mutt for several years =
now,
I believe.

I just use my MobilePro 780 as an SSH machine, though, and use mutt running=
 on
my box at home.  You will find that:

1. wscons doesn't support 8-bit fonts (suitable for UTF-8), thus you will
likely want to run X just to use xterm (if you are connecting to non-NetBSD
boxes especially).
2. the MobilePro can't spare much memory once X is up and running, so if yo=
u can
squeaze all of your communications into an SSH connection, you will lower
overhead.  If I have X running, and try to run SSH plus some other simple
command-line stuff, those other processes will frequently get killed to avo=
id
OOM.

My 2 cents.

BTW if anyone has any tips to skirt the pitfalls I mentioned above, I am op=
en to
suggestions.
