Starting with version 0.9.8, 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,
mbsync or
fetchmail). 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
and Wanderlust.
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, or
check the screenshots below. mu4e is part of the normal
mu source package and
also available on Github.
