NAME

       bookmarks - file with bookmarks (shortcuts) for mu search expressions

DESCRIPTION

       Bookmarks  are  named  shortcuts  for search queries. They allow using a convenient name for often-used queries. The bookmarks are are also
       visible as shortcuts in the mu experimental user interfaces, mug and mug2.

       mu supports bookmarks stored in a file called bookmarks in the mu home directory (typically, this would be ~/.mu/bookmarks).

       The bookmarks file is a typical key=value .ini-file, which is best shown by means of an example:

	   [mu]
	   inbox=maildir:/inbox 		 # inbox
	   oldhat=maildir:/archive subject:hat	 # archived with subject containing 'hat'

       The [mu] group header is required.

       For practical uses of bookmarks, see mu-find(1).

LOCATION

       The bookmarks file is read from <muhome>/bookmarks. Typically, this would be ~/.mu/bookmarks, but this can be influenced using the --muhome
       parameter for mu-find(1) and mug(1).
