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.
