By default, \fBmu index\fR stores its message database in \fI~/.mu/xapian\fR;
the database has an embedded version number, and \fBmu\fR will automatically
update it when it notices a different version. This allows for automatic
updating of \fBmu\fR-versions, without the need to clear out any old
databases.
However, note that versions of \fBmu\fR before 0.7 used a different scheme,
which puts the database in \fI~/.mu/xapian\-<version>\fR. These older
databases can safely be deleted. Starting from version 0.7, this manual
cleanup should no longer be needed.
\fBmu\fR stores logs of its operations and queries in \fI<muhome>/mu.log\fR
