NOTMUCH-NEW(1) General Commands Manual NOTMUCH-NEW(1) NAME
notmuch-new - Incorporate new mail into the notmuch database. SYNOPSIS
notmuch new [--no-hooks] DESCRIPTION
Find and import any new messages to the database. The new command scans all sub-directories of the database, performing full-text indexing on new messages that are found. Each new message will automatically be tagged with both the inbox and unread tags. You should run notmuch new once after first running notmuch setup to create the initial database. The first run may take a long time if you have a significant amount of mail (several hundred thousand messages or more). Subsequently, you should run notmuch new whenever new mail is delivered and you wish to incorporate it into the database. These subsequent runs will be much quicker than the initial run. Invoking notmuch with no command argument will run new if notmuch setup has previously been completed, but notmuch new has not previously been run. notmuch new updates tags according to maildir flag changes if the maildir.synchronize_flags configuration option is enabled. See notmuch- config(1) for details. The new command supports hooks. See notmuch-hooks(5) for more details on hooks. Supported options for new include --no-hooks Prevents hooks from being run.

notmuch-mutt - notmuch (of a) helper for Mutt SYNOPSIS
notmuch-mutt [OPTION]... search [SEARCH-TERM]... notmuch-mutt [OPTION]... thread < MAIL notmuch-mutt [OPTION]... tag [TAGS]... < MAIL DESCRIPTION
notmuch-mutt is a frontend to the notmuch mail indexer capable of populating a maildir with search results. OPTIONS
-o DIR --output-dir DIR Store search results as (symlink) messages under maildir DIR. Beware: DIR will be overwritten. (Default: ~/.cache/notmuch/mutt/results/) -p --prompt Instead of using command line search terms, prompt the user for them (only for "search"). -h --help Show usage information and exit. INTEGRATION WITH MUTT
notmuch-mutt can be used to integrate notmuch with the Mutt mail user agent (unsurprisingly, given the name). To that end, you should define macros like the following in your Mutt configuration (usually one of: ~/.muttrc, /etc/Muttrc, or a configuration snippet under /etc/Muttrc.d/): macro index <F8> "<enter-command>unset wait_key<enter><shell-escape>notmuch-mutt --prompt search<enter><change-folder-readonly>~/.cache/notmuch/mutt/results<enter>" "notmuch: search mail" macro index <F9> "<enter-command>unset wait_key<enter><pipe-message>notmuch-mutt thread<enter><change-folder-readonly>~/.cache/notmuch/mutt/results<enter><enter-command>set wait_key<enter>" "notmuch: reconstruct thread" macro index <F6> "<enter-command>unset wait_key<enter><pipe-message>notmuch-mutt tag -inbox<enter>" "notmuch: remove message from inbox" The first macro (activated by <F8>) prompts the user for notmuch search terms and then jump to a temporary maildir showing search results. The second macro (activated by <F9>) reconstructs the thread corresponding to the current mail and show it as search results. The third macro (activated by <F6>) removes the tag "inbox" from the current message; by changing "-inbox" this macro may be customised to add or remove tags appropriate to the users notmuch work-flow. To keep notmuch index current you should then periodically run "notmuch new". Depending on your local mail setup, you might want to do that via cron, as a hook triggered by mail retrieval, etc. SEE ALSO
