mu is a collection of utilities for maildirs, in particular for indexing and searching them. mu fills a database with information about a message, which can then be queried with an easy query language. It can work stand-alone or be integrated with a mail client like Mutt.

Recent releases


Changes: This version adds extensions to the query language and the ability to get statistics about the messages that match some queries. mu-index is substantially faster. Also, mu-msginfo has been extended. Small optimizations have been done, and some bugs have been fixed. Finally, some GTK+ widgets have been added; they are to be considered "experimental".


Changes: This release adds further indexing speedups (especially on ext3-file systems). Also, one can now search for relative dates (e.g. '3w' for 'three weeks ago'); search for message properties such as has-attachment/signed/encrypted; and search for message priority. In addition, one can now define bookmarks for search queries. The documentation has been updated, and unit test coverage has been improved. Last but not least, the Web page has been redesigned.


Changes: This release brings full content search (using Xapian), and is up to 3 times faster than the previous version. It also adds support for Maildir++, sorting, as well as performance tuning. The documentation was updated an extended. Two new tools were added: mu-mkmdir (mkdir for Maildirs) and mu-msginfo (to get information about message files).
