<div dir="ltr">If it were me, I'd be looking to do something to automatically use a different configuration at different times of the week. One config would look like whatever your configuration is, while the other would include the 'work' tag in your 'exclude_tags=' options, so your work email would be invisible unless you explicitly went looking for it.<div><br></div><div>Off the top of my head, you could have 2 config files (automatically created maybe), and you could either tweak the NOTMUCH_CONFIG environment variable or a --config= option to select one or the other.

So I got a new job, and that means I have a new email address that<br>
forwards to my regular mail spool. *Normally*, all that junk should end<br>
up in a separate folder so I am tagging it all as "+work" (there are<br>
quite a few corner cases which I handle individually, but from here on<br>
we can assume there's a single tag to identify all that mail).<br>
<br>
How do I stay sane during the weekends? There's a *lot* of junk coming<br>
in that's polluting my "notmuch-hello" view. Here's a "screenshot":<br>

How can I make that "All tags" junk disappear? Or, more specifically,<br>
how do I make it ignore that crowded "work" tag? Bonus points for<br>
flipping back and forth outside of business hours and weekends. :)<br>
<br>
I know I can make a billion saved searches to cover for all those<br>
cases. But so far I've used a technique where I tag messages instead of<br>
doing saved searches and it serves me well.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
