.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBmu\fR is a set of tools for dealing with Maildirs and the e-mail messages
in them.
\fBmu\fR's main function is to enable searching of e-mail messages. It does so
by periodically scanning a Maildir directory tree and analyzing the e-mail
messages found ('indexing'). The results of this analysis are stored in a
database, which can then be queried.
