Julian Pidancet fbff8cf0ac notmuch: make maildir store path configurable
Add the "maildir-store" account configuration option to select the
maildir store to associate with the notmuch database.

This also allows the previous changes to be backward compatible since
not specifying this option will make the backend behave the same as if
there were no changes.

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:
*check-mail-cmd*
Command to run in conjunction with *check-mail* option.
Example:
mbsync -a
Default: none
*check-mail-timeout*
Timeout for the *check-mail-cmd*. The command will be stopped if it does
not complete in this interval and an error will be displayed. Increase from
the default if repeated errors occur
Default: 10s
*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
*maildir-store*
Path to the maildir store containing the message files backing the
notmuch database. This is often the same as the notmuch database path.
This is optional. If specified, it will be used by aerc to list
available folders and enable commands such as :delete and :archive.
Default: none
# USAGE
Notmuch shows slightly different behavior than for example imap.++
Some commands are slightly different in semantics and mentioned below:
*cf* <notmuch query>
The change folder command allows for arbitrary notmuch queries. Performing a
cf command will perform a new top-level notmuch query
*filter* <notmuch query>
The filter command for notmuch backends takes in arbitrary notmuch queries.
It applies the query on the set of messages shown in the message list. This
can be used to perform successive filters/queries. It is equivalent to
performing a set of queries concatenated with "and"
