## What it is
mutt-wizard is a shell-based tool that automatically configures the neomutt terminal email client along with isync and msmtp, including IMAP/SMTP auto-detection and GPG-encrypted password storage. It supports multiple email accounts, offline mail storage, and scheduled mail syncing.

## Use cases
- set up a terminal email client automatically
- configure mutt and isync for my email account
- store email offline and sync it locally
- manage multiple email accounts in neomutt
- encrypt email passwords with GPG on Linux
- get notified of new mail from the command line

## When to choose
- you want a fully configured terminal-based email workflow on Linux
- you need offline access to your IMAP mail with automatic syncing
- you manage several email accounts and want quick account switching in mutt
- you prefer GPG-encrypted local password storage over remote credentials

## When to avoid
- you want a graphical email client
- you are on a slow-release distro and unwilling to patch configs or install newer neomutt
- you need Exchange/proprietary webmail features not accessible via IMAP/SMTP
- you don't want to manage GPG keys and shell tooling
