Acidburn currently has functional postfix/dovecot. This is how to use it with mutt.

This is a sample configuration for imap/smtp in mutt for acidburn, provided by [[User:echarlie|echarlie]]

== Local Mail on acidburn ==
This is how one would read and send local mail on acidburn. This is a fully functional <code>.muttrc</code>, however we
would suggest setting your mutt editor, setting your encoding preference (UTF-8), and changing keybindings to preference.
<pre>
set mbox_type=Maildir #acidburn uses maildirs
set folder=$HOME/Maildir
set spoolfile=+/
set header_cache=~/.cache/mutt #optional; header caching speeds things up
set my_user=wadsworth
set realname = "Wadsworth Luugbot"
set from = wadsworth@vtluug.org
set use_from = yes
# This is needed if you want to send from another ldapified server
#set smtp_url=smtps://$my_user:$my_pass@acidburn.vtluug.org:587
#set ssl_force_tls = yes
