Mail Indexers

Stuff related to indexing and searching. Besides Spotlight, of course.

• Zoë - self-contained Java-based mail archiver and indexer. Requires duplicating or migrating your mail store, eats RAM and disk like there’s no tomorrow. Dated interface.
• mairix - simple, neat, effective if somewhat limited (does not index attachments)

• Namazu - C/Perl hybrid (format parsers are in Perl). Supports Japanese encodings.
• Lucene - Java-based, powers several different search applications and has spawned countless ports to other languages:
• Lucene4c - for C
• CLucene - for C++
• PyLucene - compiled Java with SWIG bindings to Python
• Lupy - native Python port
