Package: mairix (0.17-2)

indexes and searches email in locally stored email

mairix is a program for indexing and searching locally stored email messages. mairix supports Maildir, MH folders, and mbox formats.

 * Indexing is fast. It runs incrementally on new messages - any
 particular message only gets scanned once in the lifetime of the
 index file.

 * The search mode populates a "virtual" maildir folder with symlinks
 which point to the real messages. This folder can be opened as usual
 in your mail program.

 * The search mode is very fast.

 * Indexing and searching works on the basis of words. The index file
 tabulates which words occur in which parts (particular headers +
 body) of which messages.
