Hi all,
I have read the manual and googled around but I can't find the answer (maybe my terminology is wrong?).
Basically I have a number of email accounts and I want to apply a number of 'tags' to a message (e.g. 'family', 'important', 'urgent' and so on). This let's me then find all 'important' emails very quickly. For this to work I need to apply multiple tags to a single email and apply the same tag to emails across the various accounts.
I have mu4e 'working' so I can pull emails and search across them, but I just can't figure out how to 'tag' them. 'Filing' isn't sufficient as I can only put it in one folder...
I did think about maybe using org-mode and linking to the email as a solution but that is a bit beyond my skills.. I also considered notmuch as well, or even the good old gnus, but they are both new to me.
Thoughts/suggestions?
Thanks!
