#### Maildir indexer/searcher with an Emacs UI

mu is a tool for dealing with e-mail messages stored in the
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 and more.

Features:

* fast indexing for 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 mutt and
  Wanderlust.
* mu4e, an emacs-based e-mail client based on mu
