Never touched mutt, but I've been using Emacs+notmuch for email for quite a long time (and you can use mutt+notmuch together, unfortunately TFA doesn't even mention it - it's really good when you have too much mail). My daily workflow involved quite a lot of mail, both from real people expecting a reply, and some automated reports. I've had many notmuch auto-tagging rules, and some custom Emacs key shortcuts to make tagging/sorting even more efficient. I think I've accumulated around 100k messages during my 4 years there. Around 2017, I moved on to a job in a smaller company, where everyone was sitting in the same building. Ditched that setup, and definitely not looking back ;)
