mairix is a program for indexing and searching email messages stored in Maildir
|
|
(see the documentation section below), MH or mbox folders.
|
|
|
|
Some features:
|
|
* Indexing is fast. It runs incrementally on new messages - any particular
|
|
message only gets scanned once in the lifetime of the index file.
|
|
* The search mode populates a "virtual" maildir (or MH) folder with symlinks
|
|
which point to the real messages. This folder can be opened as usual in
|
|
your mail program. (Note, if messages are in mbox folders, copies are
|
|
made. Similarly if the virtual folder has mbox format, it is filled with
|
|
copies of the matched messages.)
|
|
* The search mode is very fast.
|
|
* Indexing and searching works on the basis of words. The index file
|
|
tabulates which words occur in which parts (particular headers + body) of
|
|
which messages.
