Mutt is great but other solutions exist.

14.04 did not exist in 2008. A lot has changed. Has anyone set up outgoing command line Mail on a 14.04 install??

Cool. Sorry that I am such a dunce. I would be happy to cut you a chech to walk my worthless ass through the install setup and testing of mutt. BUT, my Arkia software wants sendmail or postfix. Same offer. Walk me through it and I write you a chech. Oh, and BTW,,my checks are written immediately and NEVER bounce.
