   Given the enormous amounts of e-mail many people gather and the importance of
   e-mail message in our work-flows, it's essential to quickly deal with all that
   mail - in particular, to instantly find that one important e-mail you need right
   now.

-  create new maildirs, and so on. See the [[http://www.djcbsoftware.nl/code/mu/cheatsheet.html][mu cheatsheet]] for some examples.
