It can do very fast searches though all of your mail. You can configure it to search for (almost) whatever you want. sender address included. However, automatically splitting your inbox based on the sender would require some scripting to generate the appropriate queries. > 2. posting styles: according to which group I am in it will place a > different signature file in my email. Notmuch uses standard message-mode for composing and sending mails. I guess you can configure message mode to do so. > 3.

It is either in your distribution or a simple configure; make; make install should do the job. It needs Emacs 23 and the following libraries: glib, gmime and xapian. -Michal
