nmzmail  is  a  program  that uses the namazu2 search engine (http://www.namazu.org) from within the mail
       client mutt to search and index mail stored in maildir folders.  Based on the result of the namazu query,
       nmzmail generates a maildir folder containing symbolic links to the mail matching the  query.   A  simple
       mutt  macro  makes  it very easy to use nmzmail from within mutt, and a simple crontab entry always keeps
       your mail indexed by namazu.

       Add the following macro to your muttrc file:

       macro generic S "<shell-escape>nmzmail<return><esc>c~/.nmzmail/result<return>" "Search via nmzmail"

       Run mutt and hit "S" and enter your query when prompted.

       You can manually update your index periodically or via a cronjob with:

       nmzmail-i<maildir1><maildir2>  ...

-i     This tells nmzmail to index your email.

       -bFILE
              Base.  Where nmzmail builds its index.  By default it is in $HOME/.nmzmail.

       -rFILE
              Result.  Similar to -b, this lets you specify where the results are to be built. By default it  is
              within $HOME/.nmzmail.

       -nNUM Limit.   When  making  a query, nmzmail can be used directly from the command line instead of from
              within mutt.  When the -n option is invoked, the number of results returned from your  query  will
              be limited to whatever integer you specify for NUM.
