NAME
       notmuch-insert - add a message to the maildir and notmuch database


SYNOPSIS
       notmuch insert [option ...] [+<tag>|-<tag> ...]


DESCRIPTION
       notmuch  insert  reads  a message from standard input and delivers it into the maildir directory given by
       configuration option database.path, then incorporates the message into the notmuch  database.  It  is  an
       alternative to using a separate tool to deliver the message then running notmuch new afterwards.

       The  new  message  will  be  tagged with the tags specified by the new.tags configuration option, then by
       operations specified on the command-line: tags prefixed by '+' are added while those prefixed by '-'  are
       removed.

       If  the  new  message  is a duplicate of an existing message in the database (it has same Message-ID), it
       will be added to the maildir folder and notmuch database, but the tags will not be changed.

       The insert command supports hooks. See notmuch-hooks(5) for more details on hooks.

       Option arguments must appear before any tag operation arguments.  Supported options for insert include

          --folder=<folder>
                 Deliver the message to the specified folder, relative to the top-level directory given  by  the
                 value of database.path. The default is to deliver to the top-level directory.

          --create-folder
                 Try  to  create  the  folder  named by the --folder option, if it does not exist. Otherwise the
                 folder must already exist for mail delivery to succeed.

          --keep Keep the message file if indexing fails, and keep the  message  indexed  if  applying  tags  or
                 maildir  flag  synchronization  fails. Ignore these errors and return exit status 0 to indicate
                 succesful mail delivery.

          --no-hooks
                 Prevent hooks from being run.


EXIT STATUS
       This command returns exit status 0 on succesful mail delivery, non-zero  otherwise.  The  default  is  to
       indicate  failed  mail delivery on any errors, including message file delivery to the filesystem, message
       indexing to Notmuch database, changing tags, and synchronizing tags to maildir flags. The  --keep  option
       may be used to settle for successful message file delivery.

       The exit status of the post-insert hook does not affect the exit status of the insert command.
