Re: Can't send mail with smtpmail "any more". (Gmail and other providers)

[Vladimir Nikishkin <lockywolf@gmail.com>]

mu4e can handle maildirs. Notmuch can also handle maildirs.

Moreover, you can use both on the same maildir that mutt already has, at
the same time, and use any of those as a search engine for mutt.
