Magiic Allows for GPG Indexing of IMAP on the Command-line

Magiic is a Python script that uses GnuPG for encryption/decryption and Whoosh for full-text indexing. It acts as a standalone mail application, either connecting directly to an IMAP server and creating a local index off of the contents, or recursively indexing a local directory for all mbox files. It has a simple ncurses interface so all interaction can take place on the command line. We are releasing the code using a version of the Creative Commons BY-NC-SA 3.0 license that has been modified slightly to be more applicable for software licensing. It is free for non-commercial use.

For more information, including Magiic's motivations and use-cases, see our blog post.
