I would like to get roundcube back working as Mutt although being ever so quick seems to have quite a lot of daunting options and not brave enough

It's not that bad. For this message, I pressed 'r' for reply and your
message was quoted as above. When I finish editing and save my changes,
I can press 'a' to add an attachment or press 'y' to send.
The only thing I needed to set up was where and how to forward outgoing
mail so it would actually get sent. I installed the "msmtp" SMTP client
to do the delivery.
Your mutt configuration would look like this, if you can send via Gmail:
set sendmail="/usr/local/bin/msmtp"
set envelope_from="yes"
set from="
[email protected]"
set realname="aces and eights"
set use_from="yes"
Your $HOME/.msmtprc file would hold something like:
defaults
port 587
tls on
tls_starttls on
tls_trust_file /usr/local/share/certs/ca-root-nss.crt
account default
host smtp.gmail.com # guessing here, but it resolves
syslog LOG_MAIL
remove_bcc_headers off # Bcc to myself for an accurate copy
from
[email protected]
auth on
user mick.crane
password m/d4sS2aQiCfML # or whatever you use to authenticate...
"msmtp" is pretty much set and forget.
