See the [mu cheatsheet] for some examples. =mu= -is fully documented. - -After indexing your messages into a [Xapian](http://www.xapian.org)-database, you can search them -using a custom query language. You can use various message fields or words in the body text to find -the right messages. - -Built on top of `mu` are some extensions (included in this package): - - * mu4e: a full-featured e-mail client that runs inside emacs - - * mu-guile: bindings for the Guile/Scheme programming language (version 2.2 and later) - -`mu` is written in C and C++; `mu4e` is written in elisp, and `mu-guile` in a mix of C and Scheme. - -Note, `mu` is available in Linux distributions (e.g. Debian/Ubuntu and Fedora) under the name -`maildir-utils`; apparently because they don't like short names. |
