NOTMUCH-NEW(1)

NAME

       notmuch-new - incorporate new mail into the notmuch database

SYNOPSIS

       notmuch new [options]

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(1) 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 sub‐
       sequent runs will be much quicker than the initial run.

       Invoking notmuch  with  no  command  argument  will  run  new  if  not-
       much-setup(1)  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 not‐
       much-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.

       --quiet
              Do not print progress or results.

       --verbose
              Print  file  names  being  processed. Ignored when combined with
              --quiet.

       --decrypt=(true|nostash|auto|false)
              If true, when encountering an encrypted message, try to  decrypt
              it  while  indexing,  and stash any discovered session keys.  If
              auto, try to use any session key already known to belong to this
              message,  but  do not attempt to use the user's secret keys.  If
              decryption is successful, index the cleartext of the message.

              Be aware that the index is likely sufficient  (and  the  session
              key is certainly sufficient) to reconstruct the cleartext of the
              message itself, so please ensure that the notmuch message  index
              is  adequately  protected.   DO  NOT USE --decrypt=true or --de-
              crypt=nostash without considering the security of your index.

              See also index.decrypt in notmuch-config(1).

       --full-scan
              By  default  notmuch-new  uses  directory   modification   times
              (mtimes)  to  optimize the scanning of directories for new mail.
              This option turns that optimization off.

EXIT STATUS

       This command supports the following special exit status code

       75 (EX_TEMPFAIL)
              A temporary failure occurred; the user is invited to retry.
