'''Mutt''' ''is a [[w:text user interface|text-based]] [[w:email client|email client]] for [[w:Unix-like|Unix-like]] systems. It was originally written by Michael Elkins in 1995 and released under the [[w:GNU General Public License|GPL]] version 2 or any later version.''<ref>

Mutt was originally designed as a [[w:Mail User Agent|Mail User Agent]] (MUA) and relied on locally accessible mailbox and [[w:sendmail|sendmail]] infrastructure. According to the Mutt homepage "though written from scratch, Mutt's initial interface was based largely on the [[w:Elm (email client)|ELM mail client]]". New to Mutt were message scoring and threading capabilities. Support for fetching and sending email via various protocols such as POP3, IMAP and [[w:Simple Mail Transfer Protocol|SMTP]] was added later. Mutt relies on external tools for composing and filtering messages.
