[Users] Mairix

[Charles Curley]

I just installed mairix from the debian repositories. I'm rather
impressed with it. I can specify a subset to be indexed of all the
emails available. It took about a minute to index for the first time
several gigabytes of emails, and then seconds to search the index for
a keyword. That is much faster than using find across all the emails I
have.

I did have a problem. I wanted the output folder to be where claws-mail
would find it, so in its mail tree. I tried creating it with mkdir and
touching .mh_sequences. That created it, but I could not see it in
claws-mail.

Instead I created it where I wanted it using claws-mail. That worked.

I haven't figured out what mairix.sh is for. (On debian, package
claws-mail-tools, /usr/share/doc/claws-mail/tools/mairix.sh.) It appears
to combine the scan and search operations into one command. Nice, but I
usually find myself making multiple searches as I refine my query. So
only the first scan in a series of searches would be useful.
