The idea is that mu4e shouldn't touch your message-contents, yet all the state is the maildir (so you don't loose anything when you remove the xapian db). If you're a heavy user of tagging, I'd recommend using notmuch instead. The label-changing functionality in mu4e is a bit of a hack, but seems to work well of enough for people. You can set up tag searches and put them on the startup screen, like any custom search (see the manual, bookmarks etc.). Cheers, Dirk. -- Dirk-Jan C.
