mutt fork

You know that mutt is the best e-mail client ever ;-) Unfortunately, mutt upstream is too conservative and too inactive for impatient people like me. I (we) would like to have mutt with modern features like fulltext search, tags, virtual folders, gmail-like archive, sidebar etc.

It's Open Source, let's fork it! I announced this idea at notmuch mailing list in January. The current status of this project is:

• mailing list: http://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/mutt-kz (already 21 members, thanks!)
• git repository: https://github.com/karelzak/mutt-kz/
• wiki & screenshots: https://github.com/karelzak/mutt-kz/wiki


• already implemented features:
  
  
  • notmuch support (fast fulltext search and tags)
  • sidebar support (for regular and virtual folders
  • virtual folders based on notmuch queries (from .muttrc)
  • on-the-fly generate virtual folders from notmuch queries
  • add / remove / modify notmuch tags
  • support for inbox-->archive use case
  • all is implemented by regular mutt commands, so all is usable in user defined macros


• TODO:
  
  
  • integrate mutt patches from distributions (now ~20 patches from Debian in queue)
  • improve stability
  • packages (already for OpenSuse)

For more information (including .muttrc example) see: README.notmuch

Thanks to all contributors.
