Notmuch and Pagkugi

A local indexing, search, and tagging system, not a complete mail client.

At a glance

Fast global search, arbitrary tags, thread relationships, and scripting through command-line and library interfaces.

Where Pagkugi differs. Not a direct Pagkugi replacement; it indexes local mail but does not receive or send it, and it is a component where Pagkugi is an integrated application.
