In case your Exchange doesn't offer IMAP, davmail [1] might be of help,
which supports Outlook Web Access as well.

You might try searching at the new mailing list interface:
https://nmbug.notmuchmail.org/nmweb/ -- put your search terms in the
"terms" box!

Outlook is a Mail User Agent (a local e-mail program) or a webapp. It
typically accesses Microsoft Exchange (a mail server) using one of several
different possible mechanisms (MAPI, EWS, etc) to fetch representations
of each e-mail message.

Notmuch only works with a local maildir.  So what you need is a way to
get a copy of your messages from Exchange and build a local maildir.

I'm afraid i don't have a good answer for that -- it will typically
depend on how Exchange is configured.  If Exchange has an IMAP connector
enabled, you can use a tool like imap-dl (from the mailscripts package),
getmail, or offlineimap to retrieve the messages via IMAP and stash them
in a local maildir.

If Exchange doesn't have an IMAP connector enabled, then you'll need to
learn more about what interfaces are available for you to fetch the
underlying messages.

Without more information about how your mail server is configured, it's
hard to know how to give you better guidance here, though.

currently on outlook exchange, is there any guide that shows how to use
notmuch for searching my outlook both exchange and local folders, and then
if i do a change in notmuch or in outlook both are in sync?

Thanks!
