aerc-notmuch(5) # NAME aerc-notmuch - notmuch configuration for *aerc*(1) # SYNOPSIS aerc supports using the notmuch email system as a backend, for fast indexing and searching. For this to be enabled, aerc needs to be build with notmuch support.++ Refer to the installation instructions for details. # CONFIGURATION Notmuch accounts currently are not supported with the :new-account command and must be added manually. In accounts.conf (see *aerc-config*(5)), the following notmuch-specific options are available: *source* notmuch://path The *source* indicates the path to the directory containing your notmuch database (usually a .notmuch folder). The path portion of the URL following _notmuch://_ must be either an absolute path prefixed by */* or a path relative to your home directory prefixed with *~*. For example: source = notmuch:///home/me/mail source = notmuch://~/mail *query-map* Path to a file containing a mapping from display name to notmuch query in the form of NAME=QUERY.++ Multiple entries can be specified, one per line.++ Lines starting with '#' are ignored and serve as comments. e.g. inbox=tag:inbox and not tag:archived Default: none *exclude-tags* Comma separated list of tags which will be excluded from query results, unless explicitly mentioned in the query.++ This can for example be useful if you use an archive or spam tag. Default: none # USAGE Notmuch shows slightly different behaviour than for example imap.++ Some commands are simply unsupported because they have no proper counterpart in notmuch, like :delete and :archive.++ Others are slightly different in semantics and mentioned below: *cf* The change folder command allows for arbitrary notmuch queries and should usually be preferred over *:filter* as it will be much faster if you use the notmuch database to do the filtering # SEE ALSO *aerc*(1) *aerc-config*(5) *aerc-smtp*(5) *aerc-maildir*(5) # AUTHORS Maintained by Drew DeVault , who is assisted by other open source contributors.
