* Welcome to mu!
|
||
|
||
With the /enormous/ amounts of e-mail many people gather and the
|
||
importance of e-mail messages in our daily work-flow, it is very
|
||
important to be able to quickly deal with all that - in particular,
|
||
to instantly find that one important e-mail you need right now.
|
||
|
||
For that, *mu* was created. *mu* is a tool for dealing with e-mail
|
||
messages stored in the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maildir][Maildir]]-format, on Unix-like systems. *mu*'s
|
||
main purpose is to help you to find the messages you need, quickly;
|
||
in addition, it allows you to view messages, extract attachments,
|
||
create new maildirs, ... See the [[file:cheatsheet.org][mu cheatsheet]] for some
|
||
examples. Mu's source code is available [[https://github.com/djcb/mu][in github]], and there is the
|
||
[[http://groups.google.com/group/mu-discuss][mu-discuss]] mailing list.
|
||
|
||
*mu* includes an emacs-based e-mail client (=mu4e=), a simple GUI (=mug=) and
|
||
bindings for the Guile/Scheme programming language.
|
||
|
||
** Features
|
||
|
||
- fast indexing for [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maildir][Maildir]], Maildir+ and Maildir-on-VFAT
|
||
- search for messages based on the sender, receiver, subject, date-range,
|
||
size, priority, words in message, flags (signed, encrypted, new, replied,
|
||
has-attachment,...), message-id, maildir, tags, attachment (name,
|
||
mime-type, text) and more
|
||
- support for encrypted and signed messages
|
||
- command-line tools for indexing, searching, viewing, adding/removing
|
||
messages, extracting attachments, exporting/searching address lists,
|
||
creating maildirs, ...
|
||
- accent/case normalization - so /angstrom/ matches /Ångström/
|
||
- can be integrated with other e-mail clients such as [[http://www.mutt.org/][mutt]] and [[http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/WanderLust][Wanderlust]].
|
||
- [[file:mu4e.html][mu4e]], an emacs-based e-mail client based on =mu= (see screenshot).
|
||
- [[file:mu-guile.html][mu-guile]]: [[http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/][guile 2.0]] bindings that allow for scripting, advanced processing
|
||
of your data, and doing all kinds of statistics
|
||
- fully documented (man pages, info pages)
|
||
|
||
** News
|
||
|
||
2015-09-24: After almost 6 months, a new release of mu/mu4e. We are
|
||
happy to announce mu and mu4e 0.9.9.13! have just been
|
||
released. The following key features and improvements have been
|
||
added:
|
||
|
||
* Change the way the headers are displayed and sorted
|
||
* Fancy characters now enabled distinctively both for marks and
|
||
headers
|
||
* Composing a message is now possible in a separate frame
|
||
* Ability to display the subject of a thread only on top of it for
|
||
enhanced clarity
|
||
* Lots of bugs squashed, updates to the documentation (BDDB), as
|
||
well as embedding the News file inside mu4e itself.
|
||
|
||
You may grab the the tarball [[https://github.com/djcb/mu-releases/blob/master/][from GitHub]] or get it through your
|
||
distribution channels (details may vary from one distribution to
|
||
another).
|
||
|
||
None of this would be possible without a team of dedicated
|
||
individuals: Attila, Charles-H.Schulz, David C Sterrat, Dirk-Jan
|
||
C. Binnema, Eike Kettner, Florian Lindner, Foivos S. Zakkak, Gour,
|
||
KOMURA Takaaki, Pan Jie, Phil Hagelberg, thdox, Tiago Saboga, Titus
|
||
von der Malsburg (and of course all people who reported issues,
|
||
provided suggestions etc.)
|
||
|
||
We hope you will enjoy this release as much as we do. Happy Hacking!
