Hi, I have some Maildir questions I hope people can help with. I'm new to Maildir and trying to figure out how to best set it up for use with mu4e.
My existing email workflow with alpine is about 30-40 folders that things get CC'd to. Generally by person, sometimes by project. Pine has best performance with smaller mailboxes, which is why I have many of them. This made searching non-optimal (unless you know which mailbox to start in). mu has best performance with few messages, suggesting frequent archiving and setting ".noupdate". If I switch to mu4e it seems like it'll be easiest/best if I reduce this to only one (sent), or perhaps just a few that are 'active', and the rest with a ".noupdate". Right now I have Maildir/INBOX and Maildir/foo and Maildir/bar and many others. Is this even correct, or should it be ".foo" and ".bar"? To archive, do I just make Maildir/Archive-pre-2014 and move everything inside it? Or is it Maildir/Archive-pre-2014.foo and Maildir/Archive-pre-2014.bar, or Maildir/.archive/.2004/.foo, or Maildir/.archive.2004.foo? If I email someone replying / following up to an old message, and everything is now getting Fcc'd (or is the terminology "archived"?) to "sent", does this break threading? How do people handle this? It seems like threading might still work, since this thread says org-links work even after things get archived https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/mu-discuss/archive$20/mu-discuss/GLDx_Udh5wo/ZCKvGEv8s50J Perhaps I'm overthinking this whole thing, but I'd be curious to hear some best-practices for people with >100k emails that don't want to wait 30 seconds for 'mu index' each time they update. Cheers, -k. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mu-discuss" group.
