I have been doing this for some years now, with great success I might add. I use a combination of OfflineIMAP[1] (syncing over IMAP), Notmuch[2] (indexing), and Mutt-kz[3] (a mutt fork with notmuch support). This is my chain: - Sync with OfflineIMAP - Call "notmuch new" from OfflineIMAP postsynchook - Read and send emails with Mutt-kz Notmuch offers a few pre and post hooks, I address my regular tagging needs in these hooks. The rest I do while reading the emails. Easy enough :). I also use a (notmuch) search based address book[4] with Mutt. In fact, the latest notmuch release also added a notmuch-address command. Let me know if you are interested, I can share more details.

It sets us free.
