Hi Ranjan, notmuch will do exactly that.

Dear friends, I have now been using mutt for about 20 months or so, having graduated from sylpheed, and life is generally well, but for one issue, and that is searching across folders. So, suppose I know that I have an email in some folder with "stuff" in the subject line. Now, I know how to search this (quite readily) in a folder. But when I do not know the folder it is stored in, so far, it has been simply about guessing the right folders. Sometimes I get lucky, and sometimes I put it away, and occasionally, I do get lucky on a timed-release format, but I was wondering if I can get rid of this reliance on luck, as both my years and size of folders go up. Is there an easy way to do this in mutt? I would like to stick to simple tools (and stay in mutt) if possible. My email is pulled in by fetchmail from a POP3 server (gmx) and processed by procmail into folders. I do not use IMAP. I thought I would put this in in case it was relevant. Many thanks again for your suggestions, and best wishes, Ranjan
