<h2><a name="welcome">welcome to mu</a></h2>
<p>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>For many people, e-mail is the 'flow' in their work-flow. One one spends
a <em>lot</em> of time searching for old e-mails, to dig up some important

<p>First, you need to <i>index</i> your messages. Indexing means filling a
database with information about your e-mails; this may take a couple of
minutes the first time you do it, but after that it's a lot
faster. <tt>mu</tt> indexes your mail with the <tt>index</tt> command:
<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.

well. You could run <tt>mu index</tt> periodically to keep your database
up-to-date. Or you could trigger it after new mails has arrived.
