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

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Bookmarks are named shortcuts for search queries. They allow using a convenient
name for often-used queries. The bookmarks are also visible as shortcuts in the
mu experimental user interfaces, \fImug\fP and \fImug2\fP.

.PP
The bookmarks file is read from \fI<muhome>/bookmarks\fP. On Unix this would typically
be w be \fI~/.config/mu/bookmarks\fP, but this can be influenced using the \fB--muhome\fP
parameter for \fBmu-find(1)\fP.

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

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

.fi

.PP
The \fB[mu]\fP group header is required. For practical uses of bookmarks, see
\fBmu-find(1)\fP.
