I also use mutt.

Note that any email reader works better if you have some kind of 
filtering so that mailing lists go to their own folder (or similar lists 
to a folder - I put most python lists in a single "python" folder). That 
way your "main"  inbox can be the more important and ad hoc stuff - 
personal, work, etc, and you can have some other folders for lists which 
can be high volume.

Some mail readers include filtering, often poor.

Mutt is different - it mostly expects you to filter with another 
programme; you just read and send email with mutt.  For example I 
collect my email with getmail and filter it using mailfiler.

That said, mutt has great in-folder filtering - you can search flexibly, 
or "limit" the view of the messages to those match some criteria. And it 
threads well.
