At the cli notmuch insert level, I'd actually rather do the opposite and be even stricter about folder being relative. I just had to look at the code for other reasons, and it seems to accept all sorts of weird combos with "/" and "." that I think should be rejected. Or at the very least sanitized. Otherwise we end up with filenames with "//" or "/./" in them, probably confusing notmuch later on. I'd argue notmuch insert --folder="" should Fcc to the mail store root, but alas that doesn't work at the cli level. It doesn't appear to work at the emacs level either, but perhaps notmuch-emacs could translate "" to dropping the --folder argument? Could even add that as a choice option in notmuch-fcc-dirs customization. Mark?
