I don’t think I need notmuch search and tagging facilities since mu and Neomutt cover all my needs. But in case I change my mind, I leave this links here:

• the Arch wiki on notmuch
• Gérer ses mails en local : étape 3 bis, du rab’ de mutt
• Notmuch feature for Neomutt
• Notmuch of mail a setup Part 2 - notmuch and Emacs
• this HN thread

I especially liked reading Search-oriented tools for Unix-style mail.

SSH to a machine behind firewall. On a related note, LocalCommand and RemoteCommand are also handy in some cases, e.g., LocalCommand osascript -e "tell application \"Terminal\" to set current settings of window 1 to settings set \"ssh\"" to change Apple Terminal theme when ssh’ing on a remomte machine, or RemoteCommand tmux new -A -s remote -n main to start Tmux right when connecting to a remote server.
