NOTMUCH-RESTORE(1) General Commands Manual NOTMUCH-RESTORE(1)
NAME
notmuch-restore - Restores the tags from the given file (see notmuch dump).
SYNOPSIS
notmuch restore [--accumulate] [ <filename> ]
DESCRIPTION
Restores the tags from the given file (see notmuch dump).
The input is read from the given filename, if any, or from stdin.
Note: The dump file format is specifically chosen to be compatible with the format of files produced by sup-dump. So if you've previously
been using sup for mail, then the notmuch restore command provides you a way to import all of your tags (or labels as sup calls them).
The --accumulate switch causes the union of the existing and new tags to be applied, instead of replacing each message's tags as they are
read in from the dump file.
See notmuch-search-terms(7) for details of the supported syntax for <search-terms>.
notmuch restore updates the maildir flags according to tag changes if the maildir.synchronize_flags configuration option is enabled. See
notmuch-config(1) for details.
