On my MacOSX laptop, I use mutt with SMTP, SSL and SASL (gssapi):

$ port installed mutt-devel
The following ports are currently installed:
  mutt-devel 1.5.19_0+gdbm+gssapi+headercache+imap+sasl+smtp+ssl (active)

The "gssapi" option (to enable native GSSAPI in the IMAP client) was
missing from the MacPors "Portfile", I added it by hand:

    /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/mail/mutt-devel: (Added)
        variant gssapi description {GSSAPI support} {
            configure.args-append --with-gss=yes
        }

Similarly with NetBSD pkgsrc:

    $ /usr/pkg/sbin/pkg_info -Q PKG_OPTIONS mutt
    curses gssapi mutt-hcache mutt-smtp sasl smime ssl

    /usr/pkgsrc/mail/mutt-devel/options.mk: (Added)
        ###
        ### GSS
        ###
        .if !empty(PKG_OPTIONS:Mgssapi)
        CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --with-gss=yes
        .endif

With this, Mutt is a complete IMAP + 587 submission client (in my case
with GSSAPI Kerberos authentication).
