can safely be deleted. Starting from version 0.7, this manual cleanup should
no longer be needed.
By default, \fBmu\fR stores logs of its operations and queries in \fI~/.mu/mu.log\fR.
Upon startup, \fBmu\fR checks the size of this log file. If it exceeds 1 MB,
it will be moved to \fI~/.mu/mu.log.old\fR, overwriting any existing file of
that name, and start with an empty \fI~/.mu/mu.log\fR. This scheme allows for
continued use of \fBmu\fR without the need for any manual maintenance of log
files.
To store these files elsewhere from their default location, one can use the
\fI\-\-muhome\fR option, as discussed in the \fBmu\fR-manpage.

.SH ENVIRONMENT
\fBmu index\fR uses \fBMAILDIR\fR to find the user's Maildir if it has not
been specified explicitly with \fB\-\-maildir\fR=\fI<maildir>\fR. If MAILDIR
is not set, \fBmu index\fR will try \fI~/Maildir\fR.
