I just tested it again.

My IMAP server tree is like this:

On 'notmuch new', it works as expected -i.e. ignoring non-mail files
such as index files.

Alas, in the end it fails with an error message:

Error opening /exter..../.dovecot.sieve.log: Permission denied
Internal error: add_message returned unexpected value: 4 (notmuch-new.c:448)

I hope it will help.
