About

notmuch-deliver is a maildir delivery tool.

Overview

notmuch-deliver is a maildir delivery tool for notmuch 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:

# 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"

• notmuch shared library
