While it does look like mu4e 0.9.13 has an experimental MUA, in my
setup, as suggested by the current mu4e doc, mail is sent using ...
(setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)

It seems to me that mu and notmuch are both primarily mail search tools.
Each has a variety of interfaces. Each has an emacs mode, respectively
named "mu4e" and "notmuch emacs interface". So far, so good.

I would guess not. The mu4e 0.9.13 INFO makes no mention of nnir. The mu
general list has a July 2015 'nnir' post proposing that the notmuch nnir
backend be adapted for mu with no follow-up.

Great! I have got to try this.
The big surprise for me, after spending a few days reading about mu and
notmuch, is that you can use notmuch as a gnus search backend. This is
huge! Thank you for pointing it out.
It could be notmuch's best kept "gnus secret". The notmuch emacs page
https://notmuchmail.org/emacstips/
makes no mention of nnir or gnus search. The only mention of gnus is
quite a nice section on how to install and configure gnus-alias.
I looked on the notmuch general news list and found a 'nnir' post in
2013 saying it works great and would be nice to add to the notmuch emacs
tips page. LOL
OTOH, gnus' notmuch INFO section doesn't mention it either. LOL LOL
Many thanks, - George
