This has nothing to do with Linux--neither mutt nor exim has any
intention of serving "desktop users," now or ever.  The *only* way a
"desktop" user is going to get mail access is IMAP or (ugh) POP to their
mail provider's server.  exim is designed essentially for that mail
provider's machine, not the end-user's.  mutt is designed for the
end-user's machine, but only one who is self-sufficient and *very*
computer savvy.

The fact that you are using it says something about your ability to set
up server software, not some end-user issue.
