> What's your favorite thing about notmuch? The simple, functional emacs interface (rmail is too simple and Gnus too complex). Especially, I like the idea that many commands create new bufferes, that get deleted with "q", so that access to buffers is done like in a stack.

The idea of not having to sort mails manually, but rather be able to find them later thanks to fast searching. > If someone were to implement a new email system from scratch, but > capturing the "ideas" of notmuch, what would it have to have? I would encourage him to contribute to notmuch instead! I think notmuch only need some minor improvement of the UI interface. Maybe interaction with org-mode/calendar would also be nice. But if I were to reimplement notmuch, I would definitely have an emacs interface coupled with a command-line tool. Matthieu
