mairix
------------------------------------------

Index and search email messages stored in Maildir or MH folders

Index new messages incrementally - any particular message only
gets scanned once in the lifetime of the index file. The search mode
populates a virtual maildir (or MH) 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.

Maildir is a folder format where messages are stored in separate files
(i.e. 1 file per message). Each folder is a directory containing
subdirectories called new, cur and tmp. The new and cur subdirectories
contain the files with the messages in.

In MH, each directory is a folder. The messages are stored directly
inside the folder's directory, and have filenames which are integers.
Note, from version 0.4 onwards, mairix supports MH folders too.
