There's notmuch-hello-poll-and-update, bound to 'G' in hello, which runs
notmuch-poll-script (customizable; "notmuch new" by default). See the
help for those for details.

If you want '=' to always do "notmuch new", the easiest way is to rebind
it to notmuch-hello-poll-and-update. (But perhaps 'G' is enough?)
