As someone who is only using mutt's threaded view, it's terrific and achieves exactly the behaviour I want from a mail client. mutt's way of displaying threads -- at least with Unicode characters -- also looks very tidy. Collapsing, splitting, merging threads is also a very convenient feature to have, especially in cases where the conversation partner or software breaks threading by applying worst practices on every occasion.

An issue is that when using multiple email clients, online IMAP must be used for all mailboxes (which I don't like -- I like to only pull IMAP to my local machine, which is the authoritative copy, and not push; also, I don't sync IMAP deletions from the server) OR you could just do it like I do, I BCC all outgoing emails to myself so I can have the same consistent inbox view from everywhere.

Multiple clients in my case means: mutt at home with isync (pull only), webmail from everywhere else.
