mairix is a fast mail indexing and searching tool for Maildir and MH mailboxes. It creates an index database for rapid searching and links matching messages to a results folder.
Search terms use prefixes: s: (subject), f: (from), t: (to), b: (body), d: (date).

-f config

Config file path.

Purge results folder.

Force full re-index.

Verbose output.

Quick (stop at 100 matches).

Index must be updated after new mail. Results are symlinks. Only Maildir and MH formats. Full reindex needed if database corrupted.

mairix was created by Richard Curnow as a fast alternative to grep-based mail searching.
