Hi,
I'm very happy with mu4e!
http://www.djcbsoftware.nl/code/mu/mu4e.html
https://github.com/djcb/mu
Its speed and ease in searching are unparalleled: the results of
searches in tens of thousands of mails is immediate. I like its concepts
of generating folders only virtually through searches: everything is
search. The only lag that might occur is during sending. Yet by using,
not the SMTP implementation that comes with emacs but a local postfix
installation or something like nullmailer:
http://vxlabs.com/2014/06/06/configuring-emacs-mu4e-with-nullmailer-offlineimap-and-multiple-identities
mail is taken over in the background and no time is lost. mu4e (an its
database backend mu) work on local copies of mail (sync'ed e.g. by
offlineimap). In conjunction with offlineimap interfacing with Gmail is
easy and well documented.
Gerald.
