Also, search functionality of e-mail clients has gotten substantially worse in recent years (what with Thunderbird having two search fields, where one is stupid and the other modifies the term you&rsquo;re searching for without the possibility to search for an exact match), and I like having a backup e-mail search on the command line. Thus, I use <a href="https://www.djcbsoftware.nl/code/mu/">mu</a> to index this local e-mail backup. The plain &ldquo;mu find&rdquo; command is enough to find the subject and folder of an e-mail to allow me to find it in Thunderbird, but it&rsquo;s annoying that reading the e-mail requires an extra search step.</p>
