#+title: Mu

* Welcome to mu!
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.
*mu* is a tool for dealing with e-mail messages stored in the
[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maildir][Maildir]]-format. *mu*'s main purpose is to help you to quickly find the
messages you need; in addition, it allows you to view messages, extract
attachments, create new maildirs, ... See the [[file:cheatsheet.org][mu cheatsheet]] for some examples.
Searching works by first indexing your messages into a [[http://xapian.org/][Xapian]]-database, which
can then be queried using a custom query language.
** News
- 2011-02-13: *mu 0.9.3*; fixes a bunch of minor issues in 0.9.2; updated the
web page with pages for [[file:mug.org][mug]] (the experimental UI) and the [[file:cheatsheet.org][mu cheatsheet]].
- 2011-02-02: *mu 0.9.2* released, which adds support for matching on message
size, and various new output format. See [[http://gitorious.org/mu/mu-ng/blobs/master/NEWS][NEWS]] for all the user-visible
changes, also from older releases.
- [[file:old-news.org][Old news]]
** Features
- fast indexing for Maildir, Maildir+ and Maildir-on-VFAT
- search for messages based on the sender, receiver, message subject, size,
priority, words in the message body, attachments, date range, flags
(signed, encrypted, new, replied, ...), message-id, maildir
- known to work on Linux (Ubuntu/Fedora/Debian/GenToo), FreeBSD, MacOS,
Solaris, ...
- fully documented (man pages)
- can be integrated with e-mail clients; documentation has examples for [[http://www.mutt.org/][mutt]]
and [[http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/WanderLust][Wanderlust]].
- output in plain text, xml, json, s-expressions (experimental)
- extract message parts, attachments, open them using their default
application
In addition, there is a toy UI for *mu* called [[file:mug.org][mug]]; the plan is to slowly
evolve this into a full-featured UI.
** Development & download
Some Linux-distributions already provide pre-built mu packages; if there's no
packagage for your distribution, or if you want the latest release, you can
[[http://code.google.com/p/mu0/downloads/list][download mu source packages]] from Google Code. In case you find a bug, or have
a feature requests, please use the [[http://code.google.com/p/mu0/issues/list][issue tracker]].
If you'd like to work with the mu source code, you can find it [[http://gitorious.org/mu/mu-ng][in Gitorious]];
also, see the notes on [[http://gitorious.org/mu/mu-ng/blobs/master/HACKING][HACKING]] the mu source code.
