Someeon just pointed out org-mode to me, and I'll definitely be taking a closer look. It looks like something that could be very useful to me. The motivation for someone to point out org-mode to me was that I've recently written notmuch, which provides an emacs interface for fast global search and tagging of large email collections. The idea is that maybe org-mode users would like to be able to reference email messages for todo items, etc. and that perhaps integrating with notmuch would make sense. If any of you want to take a look and see what you think, the code is all here: http://notmuchmail.org Thanks for your time, -Carl ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 16+ messages in thread

Having your mail indexed with notmuch is kind of like having your own local copy of gmail with its powerful search options. If integrated properly with org-mode, we could refer to one particular message using its message-id (regardless of the folder/directory it is in), we could refer to whole threads. And when new messages in the thread arrive, notmuch updates the thread automatically and you will see everything when you activate the link. Another interesting possibility would be adding support for notmuch search strings to org-mode, so that you could do something like: "notmuch:foo bar" and when you activate the link, a list of messages that contain the text would show up in a notmuch buffer. And so on. Notmuch is currently in very early stage, but I think it has the potential to become a perfect complement for org-mode. With support for full-text search in local email archives, org-mode will be even harder to beat than it is now ;). > By the way, does notmuch depend on Xapian?

Hm, currently I use a local dovecot imap server for storing all my mails and use Gnus' nnir to search using the dovecot full text search (it indexes automatically). This works pretty good, but the nnir interface or imap search in general is not so advanced, and possibly I could do better querying with notmuch. Since dovecot runs local, all the mails are local, too, and I could index them with notmuch. But some questions come in mind: 1. Does notmuch require some special mailbox format? I use dovecot's dbox format, which is somehow similar to Maildir (one file per message), but there are some special lines with escape chars like ^A, ^B, ^C. 2. Is there a way to search for an article with notmuch, read id there and then get into Gnus' summary buffer with this article opened, so that I can reply? What I basically need for that was an easy way to extract the message-id and the mail file's path. 3. Does the underlying indexing tool somehow recognize new messages and index them on the fly, so that the index is always up to date?

I'm not familiar with mh-search, so I can't comment there. As for mairix, I think a big improvement that notmuch has is its search syntax, (including phrase-based searching). With notmuch searches look like this: notmuch search from:carsten.dominik and mairix notmuch search subject:"emacs interface" and "Carl Worth" notmuch search tag:important Of course, that all falls out almost entirely due to just being based on Xapian. Mairix has the interesting mode of being able to deliver search results as a maildir of symlinks. We might add something like that to notmuch. Some things that notmuch has that mairix doesn't and that aren't related just to general Xapian features: * A "notmuch show" command that does proper threading/nesting of messages. * The ability to add/remove arbitrary tags to any message and use them in search terms later. * An emacs interface to display search results, quickly filter search results by adding a term, display a thread from the search-results view, start composing a reply from a thread view, etc. I haven't compared performance and scalability of mairix and notmuch. And all of the above is just from my own recollection of using mairix for a few months so I may have gotten some details wrong. -Carl ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 16+ messages in thread

Currently the following are working * Supported by org-store-link ** Link to a thread [[notmuch:thread:35471bef770cf624005d52a155bd140e][Email from Aneesh Kumar K.

The org-mode side is still subject to change as Carl merges/modifies/rejects my proposed patches to notmuch. David ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 16+ messages in thread
