In case it's of interest to anyone here, I recently got around to trying
mairix for indexing my MH mail and quite liked it. Some niggles annoyed
me though so I've a fork up on github which:
- Numbers search results sequentially from 1 in the MH search results
folder.
- Sorts search results by date.
- Supports MMDF archives.
- Supports xz-compressed MMDF/mbox archives.
.. repo here: https://github.com/ConradHughes/mairix/tree/cjch
I'm curious whether anyone has a strong preference for notmuch and if
so, why. notmuch looks as if it might have the superior search indexer,
but its lack of support for mbox/MMDF was a killer for me as I regularly
throw old mail into .mmdf.xz, and even giving it a cursory try its
search results on the command line seemed to be completely unusable.
