This is a simplified version of a patch originally by Michal Sojka <sojkam1@fel.cvut.cz> which is designed to have the same performance benefits. Michal said the following: When notmuch new is run for the first time, it is not necessary to defer maildir flags synchronization to later because we already know that no files will be removed. Performing the maildinr flag synchronization immediately after the message is added to the database has the advantage that the message is likely hot in the disk cache so the synchronization is faster. Additionally, we also save one database query for each message, which must be performed when the operation is deferred. Without this patch, the first notmuch new of 200k messages (3 GB) took 1h and 46m out of which 20m was maildir flags synchronization. With this patch, the whole operation took only 1h and 36m. Unlike Michal's patch, this version does the deferral for any new message, rather than doing it only on the first run of "notmuch new". |

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: (require 'notmuch) 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.
