It's been a long time since I used a plain-text mail reader from the command line in Linux. I was surprised to see that mutt on Linux worked so easily -- with a secure Microsoft Exchange Server, even!
After installing the 'mutt' package with yum, I simply ran mutt. Then I connected to my company Exchange server.
- Press 'c' to connect
- Enter IMAP server. For example, imaps://exchange.company-intranet.com
- Accept the certificate if you think it is valid
- Enter your user name and password
That's it. You should see a count of mail headers as they are downloaded. Once that operation completes, you can read, compose, and delete messages at will. Press '?' for help on key bindings.
