Well, it's never as easy as it looks at first glance. Initial run picks
up folder:junk and reports correctly (is it supposed to be
case-insensitive?).

However, when moving files into another folder and rerunning notmuch
new, the folder value is never updated, it seems. This is what I run to
move mails that had been wrongly classified as Junk and that I manually
untagged into my INBOX:

notmuch search --output=files not tag:junk and folder:junk | xargs mv -t
/home/spaetz/mail/INBOX/cur/

However, each subsequent run of:
notmuch search --output=files not tag:junk and folder:junk

will show the same files, even after a notmuch new...
