## About
`notmuch-deliver` is a [maildir](http://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html) delivery
tool.
## Overview
`notmuch-deliver` is a [maildir](http://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html) delivery
tool for [notmuch](http://notmuchmail.org) mail indexer. It reads from standard
input, delivers the mail to the specified maildir and adds it to the notmuch
database. This is meant as a convenient alternative to running `notmuch new`
after mail delivery.
## Usage
Here's a simple example for [maildrop](http://www.courier-mta.org/maildrop/):
# Deliver local mail to $MAILDIR/.Local and add local tag.
if (/^From: root/:h)
{
to "|notmuch-deliver -f -t local Local"
}
# Deliver lkml mail to $MAILDIR/.Lkml, add lkml tag and remove inbox tag.
if (/^List-Id: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org/:h)
{
to "|notmuch-deliver -f -t lkml -r inbox Lkml"
}
# Deliver the rest to $MAILDIR, adding personal tag
to "|notmuch-deliver -t personal"
## Requirements
- [notmuch](http://notmuchmail.org) shared library
