Hi Everyone, Thanks for notmuch mail, it is a great program!
I am having an issue searching with --output=files and the folder prefix. Could you please tell me if I've misunderstood something or perhaps there is something wrong with my setup. Details of 2 examples below: $ notmuch --version notmuch 0.15.2 ---- 1. Archive folder Archive message #: 1356 Directory: $HOME/Mail/Gmail/[Gmail].Archive $ notmuch count folder:Archive 1356 $ notmuch search --output=messages folder:Archive | wc -l 1356 $ notmuch search --output=files folder:Archive | wc -l 1572 I wondered why I was getting more files listed in the last example. It turns out some files are included from other folders. For example: Mail/Gmail/[Gmail].Sent Mail/cur/137075610...28e65ad90fc4f:2,S If I then do this: $ notmuch search --output=files folder:Archive | grep Archive | wc -l 1356 I get the correct count again. Different folders have a similar issue: 2. INBOX folder INBOX message #: 87 Directory: $HOME/Mail/Gmail/INBOX $ notmuch count folder:INBOX 87 $ notmuch search --output=messages folder:INBOX | wc -l 87 $ notmuch search --output=files folder:INBOX | wc -l 97 This time some messages from Archive are included: Mail/Gmail/[Gmail].Archive/cur/137077654...d7c877e152f72dd5ddbc11f:2,S $ notmuch search --output=files folder:INBOX | grep INBOX | wc -l 87 ---- I think this illustrates the problem I'm having. Maybe I don't understand how the folder: prefix works? Perhaps it is my folder structure - the inclusion of the imap prefix [Gmail].?? It seems the search is matching the correct messages though, but the output of files includes messages from another folder. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Nathan.
