AERC-NOTMUCH(5)
# NAME
aerc-notmuch - notmuch configuration for *aerc*(1)
# SYNOPSIS
aerc supports using the notmuch email system as a backend, for fast indexing
and searching.
For this to be enabled, aerc needs to be build with notmuch support.
Refer to the installation instructions for details.
# CONFIGURATION
Notmuch accounts currently are not supported with the *:new-account* command and
must be added manually.
In _accounts.conf_ (see *aerc-accounts*(5)), the following notmuch-specific
options are available:
*check-mail-cmd* = _<command>_
Command to run in conjunction with *check-mail* option.
Example:
check-mail-cmd = mbsync -a
*check-mail-timeout* = _<duration>_
Timeout for the *check-mail-cmd*. The command will be stopped if it does
not complete in this interval and an error will be displayed. Increase from
the default if repeated errors occur
Default: _10s_
*source* = notmuch://_<path>_
The *source* indicates the path to the directory containing your notmuch
database (usually a _.notmuch/_ folder).
The path portion of the URL following _notmuch://_ must be either an absolute
path prefixed by _/_ or a path relative to your home directory prefixed with
_~_. For example:
source = notmuch:///home/me/mail
source = notmuch://~/mail
*query-map* = _<file>_
Path to a file containing a mapping from display name to notmuch query
in the form of *<NAME>*=_<QUERY>_.
Multiple entries can be specified, one per line. Lines starting with _#_
are ignored and serve as comments.
e.g. inbox=tag:inbox and not tag:archived
*exclude-tags* = _<tag1,tag2,tag3...>_
Comma separated list of tags which will be excluded from query results,
unless explicitly mentioned in the query.
This can for example be useful if you use an _archive_ or _spam_ tag.
*maildir-store* = _<path>_
Path to the maildir store containing the message files backing the
notmuch database. This is often the same as the notmuch database path.
If specified, this option will be used by aerc to list available folders
and enable commands such as *:delete* and *:archive*.
N.B.: aerc will still always show messages and not files (under notmuch,
a single message can be represented by several files), which makes the
semantics of certain commands as *move* ambiguous: for example, if you
try to move a message represented by several files, aerc will not know
what to do and thus refuse.
*maildir-account-path* = _<path>_
Path to the maildir account relative to the *maildir-store*.
This could be used to achieve traditional maildir one tab per account
behavior. The note on *maildir-store* also applies to this option.
# USAGE
Notmuch shows slightly different behavior than for example imap. Some commands
are slightly different in semantics and mentioned below:
*cf* _<notmuch query>_
The change folder command allows for arbitrary notmuch queries. Performing a
*:cf* command will perform a new top-level notmuch query.
*filter* _<notmuch query>_
The filter command for notmuch backends takes in arbitrary notmuch queries.
It applies the query on the set of messages shown in the message list. This
can be used to perform successive filters/queries. It is equivalent to
performing a set of queries concatenated with "and".
