NMZMAIL(1) General Commands Manual NMZMAIL(1) NAME
nmzmail - a tool to use the namazu2 search engine from within mutt SYNOPSIS
nmzmail [ -b <base> ] [ -r <result> ] -i <maildir1> <maildir2> ... -or- nmzmail [ -b <base> ] [ -r <result> ] [ -n <limit> ] DESCRIPTION
nmzmail is a program that uses the namazu2 search engine (http://www.namazu.org) from within the mail client mutt to search and index mail stored in maildir folders. Based on the result of the namazu query, nmzmail generates a maildir folder containing symbolic links to the mail matching the query. A simple mutt macro makes it very easy to use nmzmail from within mutt, and a simple crontab entry always keeps your mail indexed by namazu. Add the following macro to your muttrc file: macro generic S "<shell-escape>nmzmail<return><esc>c~/.nmzmail/result<return>" "Search via nmzmail" Run mutt and hit "S" and enter your query when prompted. You can manually update your index periodically or via a cronjob with: nmzmail -i <maildir1> <maildir2> ... OPTIONS
-i This tells nmzmail to index your email. -b FILE Base. Where nmzmail builds its index. By default it is in $HOME/.nmzmail. -r FILE Result. Similar to -b, this lets you specify where the results are to be built. By default it is within $HOME/.nmzmail. -n NUM Limit. When making a query, nmzmail can be used directly from the command line instead of from within mutt. When the -n option is invoked, the number of results returned from your query will be limited to whatever integer you specify for NUM. SEE ALSO

NOTMUCH-MUTT(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation NOTMUCH-MUTT(1) NAME
notmuch-mutt - notmuch (of a) helper for Mutt SYNOPSIS
notmuch-mutt [OPTION]... search [SEARCH-TERM]... notmuch-mutt [OPTION]... thread < MAIL notmuch-mutt [OPTION]... tag [TAGS]... < MAIL DESCRIPTION
notmuch-mutt is a frontend to the notmuch mail indexer capable of populating a maildir with search results. OPTIONS
-o DIR --output-dir DIR Store search results as (symlink) messages under maildir DIR. Beware: DIR will be overwritten. (Default: ~/.cache/notmuch/mutt/results/) -p --prompt Instead of using command line search terms, prompt the user for them (only for "search"). -h --help Show usage information and exit. INTEGRATION WITH MUTT
notmuch-mutt can be used to integrate notmuch with the Mutt mail user agent (unsurprisingly, given the name). To that end, you should define macros like the following in your Mutt configuration (usually one of: ~/.muttrc, /etc/Muttrc, or a configuration snippet under /etc/Muttrc.d/): macro index <F8> "<enter-command>unset wait_key<enter><shell-escape>notmuch-mutt --prompt search<enter><change-folder-readonly>~/.cache/notmuch/mutt/results<enter>" "notmuch: search mail" macro index <F9> "<enter-command>unset wait_key<enter><pipe-message>notmuch-mutt thread<enter><change-folder-readonly>~/.cache/notmuch/mutt/results<enter><enter-command>set wait_key<enter>" "notmuch: reconstruct thread" macro index <F6> "<enter-command>unset wait_key<enter><pipe-message>notmuch-mutt tag -inbox<enter>" "notmuch: remove message from inbox" The first macro (activated by <F8>) prompts the user for notmuch search terms and then jump to a temporary maildir showing search results. The second macro (activated by <F9>) reconstructs the thread corresponding to the current mail and show it as search results. The third macro (activated by <F6>) removes the tag "inbox" from the current message; by changing "-inbox" this macro may be customised to add or remove tags appropriate to the users notmuch work-flow. To keep notmuch index current you should then periodically run "notmuch new". Depending on your local mail setup, you might want to do that via cron, as a hook triggered by mail retrieval, etc. SEE ALSO
