By default, @t{mu4e} puts a copy of any messages you sent in the folder you
set for @code{mu4e-sent-folder}. In some case, this may not be what you want -
for example, when using GMail+@abbr{IMAP} (but @emph{not} with
GMail+@abbr{POP3}), this interferes with GMail's handling of the sent messages
folder, and you may end up with duplicate messages. For this, since @t{mu4e}
0.9.8.3, there is the variable @code{mu4e-sent-messages-behavior}, which takes
a symbol. The default is @code{'sent} which, as stated causes the message to
be copied to your sent-messages folder. Other possible values are
@code{'trash} (so the sent message is copied to the trash-folder
(@code{mu4e-trash-folder}), and @code{'delete} to simply discard the message
altogether.
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[1] is a tool for dealing with e-mail messages stored in the 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 mu cheatsheet[2] for some examples. Searching works by first indexing your messages into a Xapian-database, which can then be queried using a custom query language. Built on top of mu there are some extensions: * mu-for-emacs (mu4e)[3]: a full-features e-mail client that runs inside emacs * mu-guile[4]: bindings for the Guile/Scheme programming language And, there is a toy GTK+-interface called 'mug' (in the 'toys/' subdir) Mu is written in C and a bit of C++, with mu4e written in Emacs-lisp and mu-guile in a mix of C and Scheme. Note, mu is available in Debian/Ubuntu under the name "maildir-utils" because they don't like short names.
