Errors after `mu4e` update to 1.8.x

[dschrempf]

mu and mu4e have been updated to version 1.8.x. See https://github.com/djcb/mu/blob/release/1.8/NEWS.org.

When I start mu4e, I get the following error with evil-collection:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (search-failed "quit")

Oh, seems like mu4e 1.8 has a new main panel UI.

I just wanted to note that I see a similar message while I'm running:

❯ mu --version
mu (mail indexer/searcher) version 1.4.15

I am able to still use mu4e to receive and send mail, however the *Messages* buffer shows:

error in process filter: evil-collection-mu4e-replace-region: Search failed: "quit"
error in process filter: Search failed: "quit"
error in process filter: evil-collection-mu4e-replace-region: Search failed: "quit"
error in process filter: Search failed: "quit"

Same here on FreeBSD with:

mu --version
mu (mail indexer/searcher) version 1.6.10

I have to mu index on the terminal to see an update headers list.

I'm using mu 1.8.* without similar problems:

λ mu --version

The problem is that the UI screen of mu4e does not contain the string "quit". Instead it has the string "[q]uit" to mark q as the key command.

Using doom emacs, I've tried to work around it with this snippet.

(after! evil-collection
  (setq evil-collection-mu4e-end-region-misc "\\[q\\]uit"))

Setting evil-collection-mu4e-end-region-misc to "\[q\]uit" manually, before mu4e is opened the first time, works.

[EDIT]

It can be worked around with doom emacs with

(after! evil-collection
  (after! mu4e
    (setq evil-collection-mu4e-end-region-misc "\\[q\\]uit")))
