I use notmuch for this (using Maildir):
https://notmuchmail.org/
with these bindings:
macro index \Cn "\
<enter-command> set my_wait_key = \$wait_key<enter>\
<enter-command> unset wait_key<enter>\
<shell-escape>notmuch-mutt --prompt search<enter>\
<change-folder-readonly>~/.cache/notmuch/mutt/results<enter>\
<enter-command> set wait_key = \$my_wait_key<enter>\
<enter-command> unset my_wait_key<enter>\
" "search mail (using notmuch)"
macro index <F9> "\
<enter-command> set my_wait_key = \$wait_key<enter>\
<enter-command> unset wait_key<enter>\
<pipe-message>notmuch-mutt thread<enter>\
<change-folder-readonly>~/.cache/notmuch/mutt/results<enter>\
<enter-command> set wait_key = \$my_wait_key<enter>\
<enter-command> unset my_wait_key<enter>\
" "search and reconstruct owning thread (using notmuch)"
Notmuch reindexing is triggered by offlineimap, but whatever fetches
email for you should also be able to trigger a reindex.
