Links look like this: [[mhe:%2Binbox#m2obksncnv.fsf@top-wifi.irisa.fr][Email from Alan Schmitt: Re: {O} orgmode + evernote, an]] where the message ID is m2obksncnv.fsf@top-wifi.irisa.fr. The message ID is preserved even if I move messages to other folders. So as long as your search engine searches by message ID, you should be all set, except that you might have to resync the database of your search engine, if it uses one. In fact, I use mairix to index my mail[fn:1], so after moving things around, I have to run mairix to reindex. In my case, that takes about 2.5GB of memory and about 40 seconds. This was a killer with my previous laptop which had 1GB of memory: it would swap like crazy and end up taking 15mins or so for the reindex, clearly unworkable: I ended cleaning up email and kicking off mairix once a day, just before going to bed. Now I have 4GB of memory and I'm a happy camper: I can reindex whenever I like. Nick Footnotes: [fn:1] I have too much mail so I can't use the default mh-e search pick/grep method - it would take forever, even limited to a single folder; mairix, btw, does not care about folders: it searches everything.
