I tried a couple of other email clients for Emacs, and I even was for some time a Gnus user, but in the end, mu4e really works best for me.

This mean you can create some pretty customized bookmarks that go way beyound your simple inbox, outbox and all. Actually, four of my bookmarks have a couple of filtering: - anything in my inbox linked to my university - the [[https://emacs-doctor.com/lists/listinfo][emacs-doctor mailing list]] (French Emacs mailing list) - emails related to my internship - and my inbox for any mail not caught by any of these filters And all of them will have the requirement not to display any trashed email. Actually, all of my bookmarks will have this requirement, except for the bookmark dedicated to them as well as my sent emails. I’ll add these latter requirements later. Here are the requirements for my university bookmark. The regex matches any email address which contains either ~up8.edu~ or ~univ-paris8~, which can be found in email addresses from the University Paris 8 (my university). #+name: mu4e-bookmarks-from-copy-to-gen #+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle no :exports none :var regex="test" (mapconcat (lambda (x) (concat x ":" regex)) '("f" "c" "t") " OR ") #+end_src #+name: mu4e-bookmarks-mailing-lists #+header: :tangle no :exports none #+begin_src emacs-lisp :var lists=mu4e-emacs-mailing-lists (mapconcat (lambda (list) (let ((address (string-replace (regexp-quote "~") "" (if (stringp list) list (car list))))) (mapconcat (lambda (flag) (concat flag ":" address)) '("list" "t" "f" "contact") " OR "))) lists " OR ") #+end_src #+name: mu4e-bookmarks-filter-uni #+header: :tangle no :cache yes #+begin_src emacs-lisp (let ((regex "/.*up8\\.edu|.*univ-paris8.*/")) (concat <> " OR maildir:/Univ/Inbox OR maildir:/Univ/Junk")) #+end_src #+RESULTS[083992a66ea6339d3a55773108e520a6024102c5]: mu4e-bookmarks-filter-uni : f:/.*up8\.edu|.*univ-paris8.*/ OR c:/.*up8\.edu|.*univ-paris8.*/ OR t:/.*up8\.edu|.*univ-paris8.*/ OR maildir:/Univ/Inbox OR maildir:/Univ/Junk Next I need an inbox dedicated to the association I’m part of. #+name: mu4e-bookmarks-filter-asso #+header: :tangle no :cache yes #+begin_src emacs-lisp (let ((regex "/.*supran\\.fr/")) <>) #+end_src #+RESULTS[e04566a9d56624e063b3dd4e2c639e87cf9683aa]: mu4e-bookmarks-filter-asso : f:/.*supran\.fr/ OR c:/.*supran\.fr/ OR t:/.*supran\.fr/ As for the Emacs-doctor list, I need to match both the current, modern mailing list address but also its old address.
