14 mu remove removes specific messages from the database, each of them
15 specified by their filename. The files do not have to exist in the file
16 system.

20 --muhome
21 use a non-default directory to store and read the database, write the
22 logs, etc. By default, mu uses the XDG Base Directory Specification
23 (e.g. on GNU/Linux this defaults to ~/.cache/mu and ~/.config/mu). Ear‐
24 lier versions of mu defaulted to ~/.mu, which now requires
25 --muhome=~/.mu.
26
27
28 The environment variable MUHOME can be used as an alternative to
29 --muhome. The latter has precedence.
30
31
33 -d, --debug
34 makes mu generate extra debug information, useful for debugging the
35 program itself. By default, debug information goes to the log file,
36 ~/.cache/mu/mu.log. It can safely be deleted when mu is not running.
37 When running with --debug option, the log file can grow rather quickly.
38 See the note on logging below.
39
40
41 -q, --quiet
42 causes mu not to output informational messages and progress information
43 to standard output, but only to the log file. Error messages will still
44 be sent to standard error. Note that mu index is much faster with
45 --quiet, so it is recommended you use this option when using mu from
46 scripts etc.
47
48
49 --log-stderr
50 causes mu to not output log messages to standard error, in addition to
51 sending them to the log file.

56 as an alternative to --nocolor.
