Trying to use mu for searching in gnus and never getting any results. No error messages, just empty search. mu find on the command line works fine and returns what is expected (and does in mu4e as well), but this does not give me anything in Gnus. Any suggestions?
…
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
'((nnmaildir "mail"
(directory "/home/britt/.local/share/mail")
(gnus-search-engine gnus-search-mu))))
What clicked it for me was realizing how simple the configuration could be. You only need to change a single line in the dovecot config to get it working (not including a bit more for the search plugin).
There were some old guides online with the dovecot command to include in the Gnus config, but that has changed, so I had to figure out the updated command to use. I can post that later if you like.
Nnmaildir works great for archives, but when I tried using it for my inbox and other folders, it didn’t work out very well. Can’t remember exactly what the problems were right now though.
