Starting with version 0.9.8, [mu](http://www.djcbsoftware.nl/code/mu)
provides an emacs-based e-mail client which uses `mu` as its back-end:
*mu4e*.
Through `mu`, `mu4e` sits on top of your Maildir (which you update
with e.g. [`offlineimap`](http://offlineimap.org/),
[`mbsync`](http://isync.sourceforge.net) or
[`fetchmail`](http://www.fetchmail.info/)). `mu4e` is designed to
enable super-efficient handling of e-mail; searching, reading,
replying, moving, deleting. The overall 'feel' is a bit of a mix of
[`dired`](http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Dired.html)
and [Wanderlust](http://www.gohome.org/wl/).
Features include:
- Fully search-based: there are no folders, only queries
- UI optimized for speed with quick key strokes for common actions
- Fully documented, with example configurations
- Asynchronous: heavy actions never block emacs
- Write rich-text e-mails using /org-mode/ (experimental)
- Address auto-completion based on your messages -- no need for
managing address books
- Extendable in many places using custom actions
For all the details, please see the [manual](mu4e/), or
check the screenshots below. `mu4e` is part of the normal
[mu source package](http://code.google.com/p/mu0/downloads/list) and
also [available on Github](https://github.com/djcb/mu).
