Part of what I > like about it is the nice workflow I have with org-mode. mu4e is good maybe for small usage, it does not scale up[1]. With 47783 maildir folders it cannot cope. It is unusable. A concept to read maildirs from a database is not good one. Database index is for searching. Maildirs shall be read directly based upon the specification. Package `maildir' is much faster to read maildirs. A search with `mu' can symlink found emails into specific folder and `maildir' package can quickly read such folder. That is about the `mu' search. Nothing beats `mutt'[2] for reading emails. Jean Footnotes: [1] https://github.com/djcb/mu/issues/1440 [2] https://www.mutt.org
