NAME

searchmail - rapidly search Mail.app mailboxes  

SYNOPSIS

searchnmail [ -qn ] [ expr ] [ mbox ... ]  

DESCRIPTION

Searchmail is as of now completely undocumented. Use at your own risk.  

SEE ALSO

appnmail(1), ixsearch(1), grep(1)  

DIAGNOSTICS

`Already locked by %s on %s (pid=%s)' if another process has locked a mailbox and the -n option is set.  

BUGS

This program by necessity depends on the internal format of Mail.app files and recent Indexing Kit features. While it cooperates correctly with NS 3.[123] no guarantee can be made that this won't change in the future.

The task was made considerably easier by Chris Paris <cap+@cmu.edu> decoding of the Mail.app transmission and storage formats.

Tom Hageman <mailapp-utilities@basil.icce.rug.nl> is the current maintainer.
