NAME

6       notmuch-new - incorporate new mail into the notmuch database
7

SYNOPSIS

9       notmuch new [options]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Find and import any new messages to the database.
13
14       The  new  command scans all sub-directories of the database, performing
15       full-text indexing on new messages that are  found.  Each  new  message
16       will automatically be tagged with both the inbox and unread tags.
17
18       You  should  run  notmuch new once after first running notmuch setup to
19       create the initial database. The first run may take a long time if  you
20       have a significant amount of mail (several hundred thousand messages or
21       more). Subsequently, you should run notmuch new whenever  new  mail  is
22       delivered and you wish to incorporate it into the database.  These sub‐
23       sequent runs will be much quicker than the initial run.
24
25       Invoking notmuch with no command argument will run new if notmuch setup
26       has  previously been completed, but notmuch new has not previously been
27       run.
28
29       notmuch new updates tags according  to  maildir  flag  changes  if  the
30       maildir.synchronize_flags  configuration  option  is  enabled. See not‐
31       much-config(1) for details.
32
33       The new command supports hooks. See notmuch-hooks(5) for  more  details
34       on hooks.
35
36       Supported options for new include
37
38       --no-hooks
39              Prevents hooks from being run.
40
41       --quiet
42              Do not print progress or results.
43
44       --decrypt=(true|nostash|auto|false)
45              If  true, when encountering an encrypted message, try to decrypt
46              it while indexing, and stash any discovered  session  keys.   If
47              auto, try to use any session key already known to belong to this
48              message, but do not attempt to use the user's secret  keys.   If
49              decryption is successful, index the cleartext of the message.
50
51              Be  aware  that  the index is likely sufficient (and the session
52              key is certainly sufficient) to reconstruct the cleartext of the
53              message  itself, so please ensure that the notmuch message index
54              is  adequately  protected.   DO  NOT   USE   --decrypt=true   or
55              --decrypt=nostash  without  considering  the  security  of  your
56              index.
57
58              See also index.decrypt in notmuch-config(1).
59
60       --full-scan
61              By  default  notmuch-new  uses  directory   modification   times
62              (mtimes)  to  optimize the scanning of directories for new mail.
63              This option turns that optimization off.
64
