Please notice that development of mutt-ng does not take place since
a few months. I don't recommend to chose mutt-ng if you don't have
it running already (I'm even considering switching back to mutt). So
please chose mutt with grml-mutt instead.

JFYI: fetchmail and getmail are both capable of handling ssl.

Please notice that grml-postfix nowadays does nothing else than
running:

  dpkg-reconfigure postfix
