It might not be the 'best' but I made a perl program to edit X-Labels
and use mutt's macros to call it and to limit mutt's view to labelled,
unlabelled, or labelled with a desired set of labels. I save incoming
mails to a single maildir after processing them. When it grows too
large, I move old messages to the latest of a stack of maildirs. I
index with 'mu' my maildirs daily. When I need to view old messages I
use 'mu find' to make a virtual maildir of all messages that satisfy
any criteria, such as having specified labels. I use tmux to open
several windows with mutt: one for inbox, one for the current maildir,
one for sent not yet labelled messages, one for a read only version of
inbox, and one for not yet deleted spam. The system is not too
polished but serves me fine and has some similarities to gmails label
system. If interested, I can share it.
Regards,
Luis
