* Welcome to mu!
|
||
|
||
With the /enormous/ amounts of e-mail many people gather and the importance of
|
||
e-mail messages in our daily work-flow, it is very important to be able to
|
||
quickly deal with all that - in particular, to instantly find that one
|
||
important e-mail you need right now.
|
||
|
||
For that, *mu* was created. *mu* is a tool for dealing with e-mail messages
|
||
stored in the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maildir][Maildir]]-format, on Unix-like systems. *mu*'s main purpose is to
|
||
help you to find the messages you need, quickly; in addition, it allows you to
|
||
view messages, extract attachments, create new maildirs, ... See the [[file:cheatsheet.org][mu
|
||
cheatsheet]] for some examples. Mu's source code is available [[https://github.com/djcb/mu][in github]], and
|
||
there is the [[http://groups.google.com/group/mu-discuss][mu-discuss]] mailing list.
|
||
|
||
*mu* includes an emacs-based e-mail client (=mu4e=), a simple GUI (=mug=) and
|
||
bindings for the Guile/Scheme programming language.
|
||
|
||
** Features

||
|
||

|
||
size, priority, words in message, flags (signed, encrypted, new, replied,

|
||
mime-type, text) and more
|
||
- support for encrypted and signed messages
