There are some situations where the user wants to get rid of the cleartext index of a message. For example, if they're indexing encrypted messages normally, but suddenly they run across a message that they really don't want any trace of in their index. In that case, the natural thing to do is: notmuch reindex --decrypt=false id:whatever@example.biz But of course, clearing the cleartext index without clearing the stashed session key is just silly. So we do the expected thing and also destroy any stashed session keys while we're destroying the index of the cleartext. Note that stashed session keys are stored in the xapian database, but xapian does not currently allow safe deletion (see https://trac.xapian.org/ticket/742). As a workaround, after removing session keys and cleartext material from the database, the user probably should do something like "notmuch compact" to try to purge whatever recoverable data is left in the xapian freelist. This problem really needs to be addressed within xapian, though, if we want it fixed right. |

Notmuch - thread-based email index, search and tagging. Notmuch is a system for indexing, searching, reading, and tagging large collections of email messages in maildir or mh format. It uses the Xapian library to provide fast, full-text search with a convenient search syntax. Notmuch is free software, released under the GNU General Public License version 3 (or later). Building notmuch ---------------- See the INSTALL file for notes on compiling and installing notmuch. Running notmuch --------------- After installing notmuch, start by running "notmuch setup" which will interactively prompt for configuration information such as your name, email address, and the directory which contains your mail archive to be indexed. You can change any answers later by running "notmuch setup" again or by editing the .notmuch-config file in your home directory. With notmuch configured you should next run "notmuch new" which will index all of your existing mail. This can take a long time, (several hours) if you have a lot of email, (hundreds of thousands of files). When new mail is delivered to your mail archive in the future, you will want to run "notmuch new" again. These runs will be much faster as they will only index new messages. Finally, you can prove to yourself that things are working by running some command-line searches such as "notmuch search from:someone@example.com" or "notmuch search subject:topic". See "notmuch help search-terms" for more details on the available search syntax. The command-line search output is not expected to be particularly friendly for day-to-day usage. Instead, it is expected that you will use an email interface that builds on the notmuch command-line tool or the libnotmuch library. Notmuch installs a full-featured email interface for use within emacs. To use this, first add the following line to your .emacs file: (autoload 'notmuch "notmuch" "Notmuch mail" t) Then, either run "emacs -f notmuch" or execute the command "M-x notmuch" from within a running emacs. If you're interested in a non-emacs-based interface to notmuch, then please join the notmuch community. Various other interfaces are already in progress, (an interface within vim, a curses interface, graphical interfaces based on evolution, and various web-based interfaces). The authors of these interfaces would love further testing or contribution. See contact information below.
