Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install notmuch on Fedora 34.
What is notmuch
Fast system for indexing, searching, and tagging email. Even if you receive 12000 messages per month or have on the order of millions of messages that you’ve been saving for decades, Notmuch will be able to quickly search all of it. Notmuch is not much of an email program. It doesn’t receive messages (no POP or IMAP support). It doesn’t send messages (no mail composer, no network code at all). And for what it does do (email search) that work is provided by an external library, Xapian. So if Notmuch provides no user interface and Xapian does all the heavy lifting, then what’s left here? Not much. notmuch 0.32.2 1.fc34 x86_64 276 k notmuch-0.32.2-1.fc34.src.rpm updates System for indexing, searching, and tagging email https GPLv3+ Fast system for indexing, searching, and tagging email.
