[PATCH 0/4] Add refresh all buffers functionality

This patch series adds a function to refresh all buffers, including an
option to silently refresh them in the background i.e. to not show the
newly refreshed buffer in any window.

This is very useful for asynchronously updating all buffers when new
mail arrives, using logic similar to the following (it's what I use):

(setq process-connection-type nil)

(defun done-index-sentinel (process event)
  (notmuch-refresh-all-buffers t)
  (message "Mail sync complete"))

(defun done-sync-sentinel (process event)
  (message "Indexing mail using notmuch")
  (set-process-sentinel (start-process "notmuch" nil "notmuch" "new")
			'done-index-sentinel))

(defun run-mail-sync ()
  (message "Syncing mail in background")
  (set-process-sentinel (start-process "mbsync" nil "mbsync" "gmail")
			  'done-sync-sentinel))

(run-with-idle-timer 600 nil 'run-mail-sync)
