<h2><a name="welcome">welcome to mu</a></h2>

|

E-mail is the 'flow' in the work flow of many people. Consequently, one spends
|
||||
a <em>lot</em> of time searching for old e-mails, to dig up some important
|
||||
piece of information. With people having tens of thousands of e-mails (or
|
||||
more), this is becoming harder and harder. How to find that one e-mail in an
|
||||
evergrowing haystack?
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Enter <strong>mu</strong>. 'mu' is a set of command-line tools for
|
||||
Linux/Unix that enable you to quickly find the e-mails you are looking
|
||||
for.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>First there is <tt>mu index</tt> which fills a database with
|
||||
information about all your e-mails; this may take a couple of minutes
|
||||
the first time you do it, but after that it's a lot faster.
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
$ mu index
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
It tries to pick reasonable defaults, but you can of course specify
|
||||
your own options. You can run <tt>mu index</tt> periodically to keep
|
||||
your database up-to-date.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>After building the database, it's easy to search for messages. For example:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
# get all Smith's mails with 'capybara' in the subject line
|
||||
$ mu find f:smith capybara
|
||||
|
||||
# get the mails in the archive folder where Mary was Cc'd
|
||||
$ mu find p:archive c:mary
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
The way to express the searches is a bit cryptic at first, but easy to
|
||||
learn (in the author's humble opinion); the mu manpage discusses
|
||||
syntax and usage, and contains examples.
|
||||
|
||||
<p><strong>mu</strong> is <em>Free Software</em> (GPLv3), runs on Unix/Linux-based
|
||||
systems, and combines the power of the <a href="http://sqlite.org" >SQLite</a>
|
||||
database and the <a href="http://www.xapian.org" >Xapian</a> text indexing
|
||||
engine. <strong>Important</strong>: for mu to work, your mails must be stored in a
|
||||
set of <a href="http://www.qmail.org/qmail-manual-html/man5/maildir.html"
|
||||
>maildirs</a>
|
||||

|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>[2010-01-26] <strong>mu version 0.6-beta</strong>. After some
|
||||
hiatus in the release schedule, <tt>mu</tt> is back now! The new
|
||||
version is a total overhaul of what was there before. It's smaller
|
||||
and faster, and removes quite a bit of the (in the eyes of the
|
||||
author) needless complexity.
|
||||
|
||||
It adds some new features that users asked for, such as a way to
|
||||
exclude directories from indexing (simply put a file called
|
||||
<tt>.noindex</tt> in it.
|
||||
|
||||
The queries are bit less featureful, the more useful parts will
|
||||
slowly be added again in future versions.
|
||||
|
||||
Note, this is version 0.6-beta, the 'real' 0.6 will follow in a few
|
||||
weeks.
|
||||
|
||||
<li>[2008-11-01] <strong>mu version 0.4</strong> released. This version adds
|
||||
extensions to the query language and the ability to get statistics about the
|
||||
messages that match some queries. <tt>mu-index</tt> is substantially faster.
|
||||
Also, <tt>mu-msginfo</tt> has been extended. Small optimizations have been
|
||||
done, and some bugs have been fixed. Finally, some GTK+-widgets have been
|
||||
added; they are to be considered 'experimental'.
|
||||
|
||||
<li>[2008-09-25] <strong>mu version 0.3</strong> released; this version adds
|
||||
further signicant indexing speedups (esp. on <tt>ext3</tt>-file
|
||||
systems). Added searching for relative dates ('3w' for 'three weeks ago');
|
||||
search for message properties such as has-attachment/signed/encrypted;
|
||||
search for message priority; updated documentation; define bookmarks for
|
||||
search queries; more unit-tests.
|
||||
|
||||
<li>[2008-09-10] <strong>mu version 0.2</strong> released; this version adds
|
||||
supports for message-body searches (Xapian); indexing is much faster; added
|
||||
Maildir++ support; sorting of results; added
|
||||
<tt>mu-mkmdir</tt>/<tt>mu-msginfo</tt>. Improved documentation, unit tests.
|
||||
|
||||
<li>[2008-08-25] <strong>mu version 0.1</strong> released
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2><a name="features" >features</a></h2>
|
||||
<strong><tt>mu find</tt></strong>:
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>search for sender and recipient; subject,message body text
|
||||
<li>output to stdout, or as maildirs with links to the original messages
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<strong><tt>mu index</tt></strong>:
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>scan messages in recursive Maildirs, Maildir++ or separate files;
|
||||
<li>only changed messages are considered when re-indexing;
|

</ul>

<h2><a name="download" >download and license</a></h2>
|
||||
|
||||
You can download mu releases from their <a
|
||||
href="http://code.google.com/p/mu0/downloads/list" >download page</a> (Google
|
||||
Code). <tt>mu</tt> is released under the terms of the <a
|
||||
href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html" >GNU General Public
|
||||
License</a> (GPL), version 3 or later.
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<h2><a name="repo" repository</a></h2>
|
||||
|
||||
The mu source code is available in Gitorious; get it from there:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
git clone git://gitorious.org/mu/mu-ng.git
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
This is the source code for the new versions of mu (0.6 beta and
|
||||
beyond). Unless you want to track development, it's better to track
|
||||
the released versions.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<h2><a name="building">building and dependencies</a></h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<tt>mu</tt> uses <a href="http://spruce.sourceforge.net/gmime/" >GMime
|
||||
2.4</a> and <a href="http://xapian.org" >Xapian</a>; you'll need to
|
||||
have those installed to build <tt>mu</tt>. On Debian/Ubuntu, the
|
||||
following should get you all you need:
|
||||
|
||||
<pre> # apt-get install libxapian-dev libgmime-2.4-dev </pre>
|
||||
(obviously, you also need the normal build tools;
|
||||
<tt>gcc</tt>/<tt>g++</tt>, <tt>make</tt> and friends).
|
||||
|
||||
<p>mu uses autotools, so building follows the normal
|
||||
<tt>configure</tt>/<tt>make</tt> pattern.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This should work without any problems at least on recent Debian/Ubuntu, for
|
||||
both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures. If it does not work for your
|
||||
distribution, please <a href="http://code.google.com/p/mu0/issues/list" >file
|
||||
a bug</a> with all the error messages, relevant information about your system
|
||||
etc. that you got.
|
||||
|
||||
<h2><img src="mu.png" align="right"><a name="contact" >contact</a></h2> If you
|

think you have found a bug, or you have a good idea for a feature, please put
|
||||
them in the <a href="http://code.google.com/p/mu0/issues/list" >issue list</a>
|
||||
(Google Code).
|
||||
|

<p><tt>mu</tt> was designed and implemented by me, <strong>Dirk-Jan
