I tend be obsessive with keeping my home directory clean and avoiding many
hidden files there. For this purpose, I put all my mutt configuration files
(including certificates of IMAPS servers and aliases files) under a
directory called .mutt (which mutt reads automatically).
Works fine here for organizing my home directory.

Yes, it is quite easy to use msmtp, with various accounts. Something that I
miss from MacOS X is how to tell the mail system my "location", changing
everything from nameservers to IP address to mail relays. Doing it manually
changing loads of files is a PITA.
