As Ubuntu does not include mu4e with the mu package I added a step to
tell the use to install mu4e and add it to their load-path. I have also
added a find command to find the directories likely to have mu4e in them

** =No such file or directory, mu4e=
You will get =No such file or directory, mu4e= errors if you don't run ~doom
sync~ after installing =mu= through your package manager.
Some times the the ~mu~ package does not include ~mu4e~ (*cough Ubuntu*).
if that's the case you will need to [[https://github.com/djcb/mu][install]] it and add it to your ~load-path~
you can do that by...
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle no
(add-to-list 'load-path "your/path/to/mu4e")
;; if you installed it using your package manager
(add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/mu4e")
;; if you built from source
(add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/mu4e")
#+END_SRC
If you have completely lost your install then you can use this handy command!
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
find / -type d -iname '*mu4e*'
# I reccomend rerouting all of the error to /dev/null
find / -type d -iname '*mu4e*' 2> /dev/null
