No worries. I don't even have the excuse of flipping back and forth, and
I keep messing up my mail too.

Most recently I realized that just moving existing mail files into the
mail store keeps them hidden from notmuch, (the mtime of the containing
directory is updated, but the mtime of the file itself is still older so
gets ignored). This bug will be fixed with the rewrite of new-file
detection (with support for deleted/renamed files). I'll be landing that
soon (promise!).

OK. Thanks for following up.

GPLv2 and GPLv3 are incompatible by design. So there's no way to mix
them unless the code with the GPLv2 license has a notice that says
"either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later
version."

I agree. It's delightful to have so much help on the project
already. (And a bunch more will be landing soon once I start working
through my patch backlog.)
