How To Fix nmzmail: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu nmzmail is provided by nmzmail package.

nmzmail is:

nmzmail is a tool, primarily to be used with mutt, for indexing and searching maildir folders. Based on the result of a search query using the search engine namazu2, nmzmail generates a maildir folder containing symbolic links to the mail(s) matching the query. A simple mutt macro makes it easy to use nmzmail from within mutt. nmzmail is similar to mairix (another email index/search program), but perhaps easier to use since it uses the query syntax of namazu2.

Features:

• fast mail searching even with large quantities of mail
• incremental index building
• integrates very nicely into mutt
• rich, but simple, query language including regex
• query history

To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.

sudo apt-get -y install nmzmail

This command might take some time to finish depending on your machine internet connection.

sudo apt -y install nmzmail
