Manpages - mu-bookmarks.5

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

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 w be ~.config/mu/bookmarks/, but this can be influenced using the –muhome parameter for *mu-find*(1) and *mug*(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).
