mup
mup is a perl interface to mu (GitHub), a Maildir indexing and search system that also implements the core functionality needed by pretty much any MUA.
mup replicates the API described in the mu-server(1) man page in a pleasingly Perly style. It is licensed under the ISC license, a simplified variant of the BSD license.
mup works in the same way the elisp code in mu4e does: it forks
a mu-server process and communicates with it. I use the
Data::SExpression CPAN module to deal with mu-server's LISPy result syntax,
which we transform into the obvious hashrefian results our callers crave
(they've got electrolytes).
Tests
I use standard perl testing stuff (Test::More). The tests all
operate on a temporary Maildir/mu index created by t/lib.pm. If you
are interested in hacking on or understanding the tests you should
first look at t/lib.pm to see how the temporary setup is created and
torn down. All tests should have
use t::lib;
in them somewhere near the top. This is all that is necessary to make sure the code in the test does not e.g. hose down your actual ~/Maildir and/or ~/.mu.
