No indirection through mbsync & maildir. This shouldn't be terribly hard - if you're interested in working on this feature, swing by the IRC channel to get a rundown of the technical details.
There's also a ticket for search in general:

Which will probably be implemented for IMAP by 0.2.0.
- anarazel 7y agoThanks for the references! I personally work offline for a fair bit (personally more productive that way, and I'm also traveling plenty for work). So I kinda like the mbsync & maildir indirection (although I do hate the lack of NOTIFY, and some other imap inefficiencies around not supporting QRESYNC etc).
- em-bee 7y agoi am looking forward to this. i am currently using supmua, the ancestor of notmuch, and i haven't been able to switch to any other notmuch based terminal client because their interfaces all felt inferior to sup. aerc is the first client i see that does the interface with multiple switchable screens right from the start. notmuch integration with the ability to keep virtual folders based on tags and on searches is the only thing keeping me from trying out aerc right now. i'll be keeping an eye on it.
- rakoo 7y agoYou should have a look at astroid (https://github.com/astroidmail/astroid https://github.com/astroidmail/astroid). It is written by one of the ex-maintainers of sup but uses notmuch, so the workflows are mostly similar. It's not in a terminal though.
- em-bee 7y agoyeah, i am aware. if it wasn't for the terminal i would have tried it. but for my workflow, email in a terminal is a must.
