I just installed notmuch on a new machine (Ubuntu, if this matters), set it to add the “new” tag to all newly downloaded messages, created a pre-new file to run gmi sync for two gmail accounts, then a post-new file to remove the “new” tag.
Then I ran "notmuch new”. It took a LONG time (around 400,000 messages combined with Google temporarily throttling the download every few minutes), but it finally completed. When I ran “notmuch new” again, I noticed that I again had to wait several hours (though not as many as the first time) while it went through every email again, telling me it was transferring metadata. Then I ran “not much new” again, and the same thing happened. Finally, the fourth run (and subsequent runs) of “notmuch new” was very quick and I now have email working inside Emacs on my machine. It’s not the end of the world, but why does it go through all my messages three times when I first set things up? _______________________________________________ notmuch mailing list -- notmuch@notmuchmail.org To unsubscribe send an email to notmuch-le...@notmuchmail.org
