mairix is a program for indexing and searching email messages stored in
Maildir, MH, MMDF or mbox folders.
* 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" folder with symlinks(*) which
point to the real messages. This folder can be opened as usual in your mail
program.
* 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.
The program is a very useful complement to mail programs like mutt
(http://www.mutt.org/, which supports Maildir, MH and mbox folders) and
Sylpheed (which supports MH folders).

It is maintained since 2017 by Kim Vandry <[email protected]>.
[(*) where the input or output folder is an mbox, a copy of the message is made
instead of symlinking.]
