Here are some tips for using =mu=. If you want to know more, please refer to the
|
||
|
|
=mu= man pages. For a quick warm-up, there's the =mu-easy= man-page.
|
||
|

|
** Indexing your mail
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can index your mail with:
|
||
|
|
#+begin_src sh
|
||
|
|
$ mu index
|
||
|
|
#+end_src
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If =mu= did not guess the right Maildir, you can set it explicitly:
|
||
|
|
#+begin_src sh
|
||
|
|
$ mu index --maildir=~/MyMaildir
|
||
|
|
#+end_src
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want to exclude certain directories from being indexed (for example,
|
||
|
|
directories with spam-messages), put a file called =.noindex= in the directory
|
||
|
|
to exlude, and it will be ignored when indexing (including its children)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
** Finding messages
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After you have indexed your messages, you can search them. Here are some
|
||
|
|
examples.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*** messages about Helsinki
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#+begin_src sh
|
||
|
|
$ mu find Helsinki
|
||
|
|
#+end_src
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*** messages to Jack with subject jellyfish containing the word tumbleweed
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#+begin_src sh
|
||
|
|
$ mu find to:Jack subject:jellyfish tumbleweed
|
||
|
|
#+end_src
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*** messages between 2 kilobytes and a 2Mb, written in December 2009 with an attachment from Bill
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#+begin_src sh
|
||
|
|
$ mu find size:2k..2m date:20091201..20093112 flag:attach from:bill
|
||
|
|
#+end_src
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
** Further processing of matched messages
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you need to process the results of your queries with some other program,
|
||
|
|
you can return the results as a list of absolute paths to the messages found:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For example, to get the number of lines in all your messages mentioning
|
||
|
|
/banana/, you could use something like:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#+begin_src sh
|
||
|
|
$ mu find --fields="'l'" banana | xargs wc -l
|
||
|
|
#+end_src
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that we use ='l'=, so the returned message paths will be quoted. This is
|
||
|
|
useful if you have maildirs with spaces in their names.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For further processing, also the ~--format=(xml|json|sexp)~ may be
|
||
|
|
interesting.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
** Integration with mail clients
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See the example in the =mu-find= man page.
