IMO the notion
of "tag-based email" is misleading to begin with. I would call
both notmuch and mu *search* based email tools.
Tagging is just one small part of it.
Got it. I've retitled the doc.
The last time I checked, the main differences between notmuch and mu
were in threading, community, and spinoff tools. I think the handling of
threads is superior in notmuch (YMMV), and this is particularly visible
in the emacs interfaces. The downside of that is slower
indexing. Notmuch has a wider developer community while mu is mostly a
one man show. Notmuch has more people to keep the project moving, but
one person might provide a more unified UI experience. Finally, I think
there are more tools and MUAs written around notmuch, partly due to the
language bindings to the library.
Thanks, quite helpful.
