What do you use for mail on the command line?
Ah, you're making a perfectly reasonable assumption that I can't live up to. I don't browse the web from the CLI and I don't do mail from the CLI. I'm trying to think of other exceptions - I'm sure there are one or two - but I guess those are the major ones.
Hah. Just testing you.
I used mutt for a year or so (a decade ago), but configuring it always required a huge amount of reading, editing text files, cursing, and rinse and repeat. While vim is arguably the same, I found the rewards greater - so I continue to use vim but these days I use Gmail's web interface rather than mutt.
I actually did the opposite. I went from web to cli. Other than a few quirks I'm pretty satisfied. A good addressbook is the only thing I haven't found, but haven't really sought out either. I use mutt with esmtp, and getmail.
