NAME

mu-bookmarks - file with bookmarks (shortcuts) for mu search expressions

DESCRIPTION

Bookmarks are named shortcuts for search queries. They allow using a convenient name for often-used queries. The bookmarks are also visible as shortcuts in the mu experimental user interfaces, mug and mug2 .

The bookmarks file is read from <muhome>/bookmarks . On Unix this would typically be ˜/.config/mu/bookmarks , but this can be influenced using the --muhome parameter for mu-find (1).

The bookmarks file is a typical key=value .ini -file, which is best shown by means of an example:

[mu]
inbox=maildir:/inbox # inbox
oldhat=maildir:/archive subject:hat # archived with subject containing ’hat’

The [mu] group header is required. For practical uses of bookmarks, see mu-find (1).
