[notmuch] [PATCH v2 3/4] Add maildir-based mailstore

Michal Sojka sojkam1 at fel.cvut.cz
Fri Mar 26 14:42:56 PDT 2010


This mailstore allows bi-directional synchronization between maildir
flags and certain tags. The flag-to-tag mapping is defined by flag2tag
array.

The synchronization works this way:

1) Whenever notmuch new is executed, the following happens:
   o New messages are tagged with inbox.
   o New messages without maildir info in the file name (typically
     files in new/) are tagged with unread.
   o For new or renamed messages with maildir info present in the
     file name, the tags defined in flag2tag are either added or
     removed depending on the flags from the file name.

2) Whenever notmuch tag is executed, a new set of flags based on the
   tags is constructed for every message and a new file name is
   prepared based on the old file name but with the new flags. If the
   old message file was in 'new' directory then this is replaced with
   'cur' in the new file name. If the new and old file names differ,
   the file is renamed and notmuch database is updated accordingly.

   The rename happens before the database is updated. In case of crash
   between rename and database update, the next run of notmuch new
   brings the database in sync with the mail store again.

This mailstore is enabled by putting the following to your
.notmuch-config:

[mailstore]
type=maildir
