Between Mutt and Mairix I use maildir (one message per file) and searching to meet my needs. I'd like to follow up on putting a message ID link in org to open emails though. -- Russell Adams[EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Key ID: 0x1160DCB3 http://www.adamsinfoserv.com/ Fingerprint:1723 D8CA 4280 1EC9 557F 66E8 1154 E018 1160 DCB3 ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

[Orgmode] Mail files in org
Is it possible to structure a large collection of emails in an org file ? Are there any specific tools for doing this ? I have used pine for many years but the business of categorizing sensibly into folders the hundreds of mails which come each week is out of hand. Googlemail is offering a single file of emails, with (multiple) `tabs' replacing the functionality of folders. This seems like a great step forward, but I don't like GUIs, and I'm not happy that on googlemail it seems not to be possible to download an email to disk with header information. (And I don't want all my emails permanently on someone else's server.) Maybe this has been thought of already, but I can't see it anywhere. I've never used mail under emacs (though I've used emacs for about 12 years). What I have in mind is a single text file containing (say) one year's 10^5 emails. I could go through attaching tabs, TODO notes, draft replies, rude remarks, tags, ... able to open a specific category ... If I'm reinventing the wheel, please don't be too harsh.
