You are, after +all, asking questions about email tools and workflows. ;) + +IMO the notion of "tag-based email" is misleading to begin with. I would +call both notmuch and mu *search* based email tools. Tagging is just one +small part of it. For example, I mostly use predefined saved searches in +notmuch-emacs, and very few tags. + +The last time I checked, the main differences between notmuch and mu +were in threading, community, and spinoff tools. I think the handling of +threads is superior in notmuch (YMMV), and this is particularly visible +in the emacs interfaces. The downside of that is slower +indexing. Notmuch has a wider developer community while mu is mostly a +one man show. Notmuch has more people to keep the project moving, but +one person might provide a more unified UI experience. Finally, I think +there are more tools and MUAs written around notmuch, partly due to the +language bindings to the library. + +BR, +Jani. -- 2.26.2
