+The steps needed to set up =mu4e= with =mbsync= are very similar to the ones for

+Start with writing a ~\~/.mbsyncrc~. An example for GMAIL can be found on
+[[http://pragmaticemacs.com/emacs/migrating-from-offlineimap-to-mbsync-for-mu4e/][pragmaticemacs.com]]. A non-GMAIL example is available as a gist [[https://gist.github.com/agraul/60977cc497c3aec44e10591f94f49ef0][here]]. The [[http://isync.sourceforge.net/mbsync.html][manual

+You should have your email downloaded already. If you have not, you need to set
+=offlineimap= or =mbsync= up before you proceed.
+
+Before you can use =mu4e= or the cli program =mu=, you need to index your email
+initially. How to do that differs a little depending on the version of =mu= you
+use. You can check your version with ~mu --version~.
+
+For =mu= *>=1.4* you need to run two commands:
+#+BEGIN_SRC sh
+mu init --maildir ~/.mail --my-address email@example.com
+mu index
+#+END_SRC

+=mu= *<1.4* only requires one command:
