MH-E is the Emacs interface to the MH mail system. It offers all the functionality of MH, the visual orientation and simplicity of use of a GUI, and full integration with Emacs, including thorough configuration and online help.

Since MH-E 8.6 was released in 2016, its development migrated to the Emacs repository. Thus, if you install an Emacs package, or check out and compile the Emacs source, then you will be running the latest version of MH-E. Consequently, we will retire this site once all of the tickets are resolved. Therefore, please help us out and submit new tickets with M-x report-emacs-bug.

MH-E is now only supported in the version of GNU Emacs in which it appears. It is no longer supported in XEmacs. It is compatible with MH versions 6.8.4 and higher, all versions of nmh, and GNU mailutils 1.0 and higher.

User Reviews

  • I've been using mh-e for... a really long time, and it's completely indispensable for my day-to-day work. MH (nmh) is still the best e-mail client I've ever used (and I've tried a lot of them), and mh-e is the best interface (because, of course, Emacs for the win).
  • Since I run this project, you'd be concerned if I gave it a thumbs-down review! :-)
