About:
NotmuchMutt is a set of scripts and configuration utilities that deeply integrates the Notmuch mail indexer with the Mutt email client. It enables users to perform fast, full-text searches across their entire email archive directly from Mutt's interface. This bridges the gap between Mutt's minimalist design and Notmuch's powerful tagging and search capabilities, creating a highly efficient email workflow.
Key Features:
  • Seamless full-text search integration within Mutt
  • Support for Notmuch's advanced tagging system
  • Scripts for threading and folder hooks
  • Fast indexing and retrieval of large mailboxes
Use Cases:
  • Managing large email archives with Mutt
  • Performing rapid, complex email searches
  • Implementing a tag-based email organization system
Alternatives:
  • offlineimap + notmuch – NotmuchMutt provides the UI integration layer, while offlineimap is a separate tool for syncing mail from a remote server.
  • mu4e – mu4e is an email client for Emacs that uses mu (a mail indexer similar to notmuch), offering a different editor-centric workflow.
