As we have seen, we can do all of the mail retrieval @emph{outside} of

@t{mu4e}. For that, set the variable @code{mu4e-get-mail-command} to the
program or shell command you want to use for retrieving mail. You can then
retrieve your e-mail using @kbd{M-x mu4e-update-mail-and-index}, or
@kbd{C-S-u} in all @t{mu4e}-views; alternatively, you can use @kbd{C-c C-u},
