You're probably better off sending your specific questions to the list, so we can quote them in our replies and discuss them. You are, after all, asking questions about email tools and workflows. ;) IMO the notion of "tag-based email" is misleading to begin with. I would call both notmuch and mu *search* based email tools. Tagging is just one small part of it. For example, I mostly use predefined saved searches in notmuch-emacs, and very few tags. The last time I checked, the main differences between notmuch and mu were in threading, community, and spinoff tools. I think the handling of threads is superior in notmuch (YMMV), and this is particularly visible in the emacs interfaces. The downside of that is slower indexing. Notmuch has a wider developer community while mu is mostly a one man show. Notmuch has more people to keep the project moving, but one person might provide a more unified UI experience. Finally, I think there are more tools and MUAs written around notmuch, partly due to the language bindings to the library. BR, Jani.
