Welcome to :mod:`notmuch`'s documentation
|
|
===========================================
|
|
|
|
The :mod:`notmuch` module provides an interface to the `notmuch <http://notmuchmail.org>`_ functionality, directly interfacing to a shared notmuch library.
|
|
Within :mod:`notmuch`, the classes :class:`Database`, :class:`Query` provide most of the core functionality, returning :class:`Threads`, :class:`Messages` and :class:`Tags`.
