Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

104 merged a mbox adapter. It parses mbox files and passes attachments to other adapters. Thunderbird has experimental support for Maildirs, other tools such as mutt, neomutt and mu work on maildirs. Those aren't supported yet.

Describe the solution you'd like Support for Maildirs.

Describe alternatives you've considered Using Mu, but that's not as powerful as ripgrep-all :)

I'm using rga successfully in a Thunderbird maildir. These are just directories with .eml files. You need to explicitly allow the mail adapter: rga --rga-adapters=+mail.
