Guide Review - Musashi 3.4.1 - Email Program

Musashi is a basic and simple email client, but it still has great features. Its support for multiple users, for example, or remote account management, which lets you delete mail right at the POP server without downloading it first.

Unfortunately, Musashi does not support IMAP accounts, and its message editor is as simple as it gets. It does not support HTML emails, and doesn't help you composing properly formatted plain text messages either.

While message labels are nice, and while you can assign them with filters, filtering is far too inflexible in Musashi overall.

With all its simplicity and missing features, Musashi is easy and sometimes a joy to use (if you don't get or send too much mail).
