I reassigned to notmuch, since the "Error" message is coming from
notmuch.
Running "notmuch new" with
drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Mar 11 07:22 lost+found
(but _not_ a separate file system)
I get
Error opening directory /home/bremner/Maildir/lost+found: Permission denied
No new mail.
Note: A fatal error was encountered: Something went wrong trying to read
or write a file
For me
ignore=.git;_notmuch_metadata;.gitignore;lost+found
seems to work, but I haven't tested on a separate file system yet.
If you can duplicate the problem with the "notmuch" command, without
using notmuch-mutt, that would be helpful.
