If you’re a mu/mu4e user, there’s good news. Version 1.2 has been released. It’s mainly a bug release but there are a handful of new features, which you can read about here. I’ve been using it for the last few days without difficulty.
Of course, since I’m running on a Mac, upgrading was a bit complicated. The new version of mu requires an updated Xapian that, in turn, had some updated requirements of its own. Rather than go through the pain of building it by hand, I took the easy way out and installed it with Homebrew. Homebrew installs things in its own special place so the mu build was still finding the old version in /usr/local/bin. I ran a make uninstall on that and then added a link in /usr/local/bin to Homebrew’s copy of xapian-config. I also had the fix the path to bash in the install script but that may be a local artifact on my machine.
Once all that was done, everything worked fine and I’m enjoying my new mail client. If you’d like to read and write your email from inside Emacs, mu/mu4e offers an excellent solution. I’ve been using it for a couple of years and love it.
In the last week, I’ve installed the new mu/mu4e and the new Emacs. Life is good.
