I tried the usage of path with wildcards, but it does only recursively report messages in a real directory tree. I'm using dovecot maildir. So the folder hierarchy is _not_ saved as phisical directory tree but as multiple directories inside the root maildir directory. So for this folder hierarchy: - MAIN1 - SUB1 - SUB2 - MAIN2 I have following directories inside maildir: .MAIN1 .MAIN1.SUB1 .MAIN1.SUB2 .MAIN2 The path:.MAIN1/** will not go down inside subfolders SUB1 and SUB2. Is there any way to achieve this ? thx! -- erik colson ___ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org https://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch
Re: wildcards with path or folder
One reason many people look for such is as part of a pipeline with --output=files and unlink. It is crucial to know that notmuch will tell you about every file name of every message that has any copy in those folders. You have to grep or otherwise restrict the list of paths to the folder you want, or lose data. -Brian I know I can restore my Maildir from backups.

You're probably looking for `path:path/to/folder/**` (e.g. `path:Archive/**`).
