Thanks for the suggestion, but I mainly used Geary to check for whether clients have sent me any urgent messages (and I would then go to my laptop to answer). For such fast, read-only mailchecking, Geary with its touch interface was a lot more convenient than a keyboard-driven app like mutt.
So, here's hoping that Geary is reintroduced to Debian Testing soon.
Once installed on mobian, there is a mutt icon on the phone "desktop". Clicking on it starts mutt and automatically fetch new incoming mails. Then hitting the q key is enought to quit the client. Nothing crazy as compared to geary workflow regarding the usage you describe. It is also possible to setup a cron job to automatically check new incoming mails every x minutes (or even seconds if you like), there are lots of tutorials for that. I am not aware of any similar capability with geary (push notification ?). But I agree mutt is different from geary, it is just a reasonable workaround until any future update. Not that bad, it really worth a try
