mail user agent
<messaging> (MUA) The program that allows the user to compose
and read electronic mail messages. The MUA provides the
interface between the user and the Message Transfer Agent.
Outgoing mail is eventually handed over to an MTA for delivery
while the incoming messages are picked up from where the MTA
left it (although MUA's running on single-user machines may
pick up mail using POP).
Popular MUAs for Unix include elm, mush, pine, and
RMAIL.

User agent
In computing, a user agent is any software, acting on behalf of a user, which "retrieves, renders and facilitates end-user interaction with Web content". A user agent is therefore a special kind of software agent.
Some prominent examples of user agents are web browsers and email readers. Often, a user agent acts as the client in a client–server system. In some contexts, such as within the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), the term user agent refers to both end points of a communications session.
