+
+  Notmuch is a great mail indexing tool than can also be used *in conjunction*
+  with existing Mail User Agents (MUA) instead of replacing them. The advantage
+  of such mixed solutions is that users can benefit from notmuch features (such
+  as full-text search and thread reconstruction) without *having to* change
+  MUA.
+

+  integrating notmuch with Mutt is fairly straightforward. An
+  [**how to use Notmuch with Mutt**](http://upsilon.cc/~zack/blog/posts/2011/01/how_to_use_Notmuch_with_Mutt/)
+  has been written by Stefano Zacchiroli, together with some glue code. Check
+  out the
