NAME
notmuch-config - Access notmuch configuration file.
SYNOPSIS
notmuch config get <section>.<item>
notmuch config set <section>.<item> [value ...]
DESCRIPTION
The config command can be used to get or set settings in the notmuch
configuration file.
get The value of the specified configuration item is printed to
stdout. If the item has multiple values (it is a list), each
value is separated by a newline character.
set The specified configuration item is set to the given value. To
specify a multiple-value item (a list), provide each value as a
separate command-line argument.
If no values are provided, the specified configuration item
will be removed from the configuration file.
The available configuration items are described below.
database.path
The top-level directory where your mail currently exists and to
where mail will be delivered in the future. Files should be
individual email messages. Notmuch will store its database
within a sub-directory of the path configured here named
.notmuch.
user.name
Your full name.
user.primary_email
Your primary email address.
user.other_email
A list of other email addresses at which you receive email.
new.tags
A list of tags that will be added to all messages incorporated
by notmuch new.
new.ignore
A list of file and directory names, without path, that will not
be searched for messages by notmuch new. All the files and
directories matching any of the names specified here will be
ignored, regardless of the location in the mail store directory
hierarchy.
maildir.synchronize_flags
If true, then the following maildir flags (in message
filenames) will be synchronized with the corresponding notmuch
tags:
Flag Tag
---- -------
D draft
F flagged
P passed
R replied
S unread (added when 'S' flag is not present)
The notmuch new command will notice flag changes in filenames
and update tags, while the notmuch tag and notmuch restore
commands will notice tag changes and update flags in filenames.
If there have been any changes in the maildir (new messages
added, old ones removed or renamed, maildir flags changed,
etc.), it is advisable to run notmuch new before notmuch tag or
notmuch restore commands to ensure the tag changes are properly
synchronized to the maildir flags, as the commands expect the
database and maildir to be in sync.
ENVIRONMENT
The following environment variables can be used to control the behavior
of notmuch.
NOTMUCH_CONFIG
Specifies the location of the notmuch configuration file.
Notmuch will use ${HOME}/.notmuch-config if this variable is not
set.
