I use a combination of "notmuch" and "notes". It's reliable in the sense that you mean about surviving file shuffling, because both link based on a MailID. The hybrid mail structure is forced on me by the requirements of my employer (they require the use of Lotus Notes) and separation of my personal mail. I don't recommend it if you have any alternative. My "notmuch" is set up with mail in various MailDir structures. That's all covered in notmuch.el. I think it would be equally robust for all the different structures that notmuch can use. I could add a link type for Lotus Notes because it has a command line mode that you can invoke specifying the Notes mail ID. Drag and drop provides that information. The invocation of: /cygdrive/c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Lotus/Notes/notes notes:///852568800070EEAE/38D46BF5E8F08834852564B500129B2C/F462D53F85901A684E24D4139A7CDA52 will bring up that mail ID. Setup and use is awkward, but not hopeless. I drag the mail into an Emacs window, then run a bit of lisp to convert the windows link into an org-mode link format. R Horn
