+  "Mutt"is the email client that was based mainly on the "elm" email client.
+ [[http://www.mutt.org/| Mutt web site]]
+ [[http://www.fefe.de/muttfaq/faq.html| Mutt FAQ]]
+  Some versions of the "mutt" email client  can use IMAP and SMTP .
+  IMAP is required for reading email from the new ECE mail server.
+  The "mutt" program on the ECE Debian Linux computers is
+  able to use IMAP and SMTP.
+  The following template should be added to your "~/.muttrc" file to
+  read email from the ECE mail server with "mutt".
+<code>
+# "~/.muttrc" template for ECE mail server
+#
+# Replace "LOGINNAME" with your login name (eg: peterp)
+# Replace 'Firstname Lastname' with full name 'Peter Pereira'

+# Automatically log in to this mailbox at startup
+#ECE department secure IMAP server
