Curnow as the original author and dates the original copyright period to 2002-2004. It also says Kim Vandry has maintained the project since 2017, matching the current GitHub repository location. The NEWS file shows mairix growing from a local maildir/MH search tool into a broader mail search utility. Version 0.4 added MH folder support, 0.12 added mbox indexing and output, 0.17 notes a migration to Git for revision control, and version 0.24 added remote IMAP folder support. ### 采用历史 Upstream positions mairix as a complement to mail readers such as mutt and Sylpheed, because searches produce a match folder that normal mail clients can open. That workflow made mairix attractive to users who wanted fast local search without changing their main terminal mail client. The README notes a mairix-users mailing list available since July 2006, and the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS file lists a broad patch and suggestion history. That is modest, but real, evidence of a small long-lived user and contributor community. ### 使用方式 mairix indexes configured mail folders into a database, then search mode creates a match folder containing symlinks or copied messages, depending on the source and result folder formats. It can also print raw matches or excerpts for scripts. Configuration lives in $HOME/.mairixrc unless overridden with -f or --rcfile. The mairixrc manual documents required base, mfolder, database, and folder directives, plus optional IMAP settings including imap_username and imap_password. ### 为什么软件包爱好者会关心 mairix is a classic small Unix mail tool: narrow job, plain text configuration, fast incremental indexing, and output designed to compose with existing mail clients. It is especially notable for supporting several old mailbox formats without insisting on a new mail store. For package maintainers, mairix sits in the same ecosystem as mutt, MH/nmh-style folders, Sylpheed, Claws Mail, and Gnus. Its value is less about being a full mail app and more about being the search engine you can bolt onto one. ### 时间线 - 2002-2004: Original Richard P.
