As much as I love the efficiency of Mutt (and Gnus), they hardly seem
appropriate for anyone who even remotely might be considered
"netphobic" or "one-who-is-intimidated-by-computers".

For such individuals, a mail client such as Icedove is far more
intuitive and far less likely to result in the loss or misplacement of
messages.

Would you give your 90-year-old arthritic grandmother a chainsaw for
pruning her rose bushes?  Would not a pair of pruning shears be a
wiser selection?
