Mu4e view multiple emails at the same time

Hi all, I'm new to mu4e and was wondering if it's possible to view multiple emails at the same time. Any idea ? Thanks

Open different buffers, one for each email in different windows

You can create bookmarks to show merged views of folders across accounts like this: (mapc (lambda (bookmark) (add-to-list 'mu4e-bookmarks bookmark)) `( ; create bookmarks to show merged views of folders across accounts: (,(concat "m:/email1/INBOX or m:/email2/Inbox or " "m:/email3/Inbox or m:/email4/Inbox or " "m:/email5/INBOX or m:/email3/IT Demands") "All Inboxes" ?i) (,(concat "m:/email1/[Gmail]/Sent Mail or m:/email2/Sent " "m:/email5/[Gmail]/Sent Mail or m:/email3/Sent or" " m:/email4/Sent") "All Sent" ?s) (,(concat "m:/email1/[Gmail]/Drafts or m:/email2/Drafts " "m:/email5/[Gmail]/Drafts or m:/email3/Drafts or " "m:/email4/Draft") "All Drafts" ?d) (,(concat "m:/email1/[Gmail]/All Mail or m:/email2/Archive" " m:/email5/[Gmail]/All Mail or m:/email3/Archive" " or m:/email4/Archive") "All Archives" ?a) (,(concat "m:/email1/[Gmail]/Spam or m:/email2/Junk or " "m:/email5/[Gmail]/Spam or m:/email3/Junk or " "m:/email4/Bulk Mail") "All Spams" ?p) (,(concat "m:/email1/[Gmail]/Trash or m:/email2/Deleted or" " m:/email5/[Gmail]/Trash or m:/email3/Deleted or" " m:/email4/Trash") "All Trashes" ?t)))

I think this is related to the way Gnus reuses article buffers, especially in the latest mu4e which uses Gnus article buffers by default. Whenever a message (article) is displayed the existing article buffer is reused rather than a new one being created. I've tried working around this my marking a message buffer with `gnus-sticky-article`, however I've never managed to get this to work properly. I do wish there was a way to customise this behaviour though as it's something I need to do quite frequently.

Thanks u/thaenalpha, u/byerley2, u/polaris64 for your kind and helpful answers. u/polaris64 That's exactly the behavior that I'm observing with mu4e v1.6. Perhaps someone developed a cool workaround workflow for this. but It's indeed quite cumbersome to have to manually do \`clone-buffer\` for each mail I want to keep seeing. Thanks all :)

Can't you just open one email, rename its buffer, then open another email?

Yes that's the easiest option I've found for times when I need to do it.
