For example, I set new.tags and new.ignore in my current .notmuch-config. If they move into the database, how will I set them before I have a database?

Hi Alan,
Below is the script that I use which does more-or-less what you are
asking for.
The only "magic" here is the function safeMove which strips the
identifier number and flags from the filename when a file is moved.
These identifier numbers are added by mbsync which is the program I use
to synchronise my folders with our webmail server, and keeping the
numbers when moving the files proved to interfere with its
synchronisation logic.
Cheers,
Örjan

If you have the id of a message you can get a list of all of the corresponding files with: notmuch search --exclude=false --output=files $id How you decide to deal with multiple results is really up to you - in my case I move/delete all of them (except that I don't actually delete anything). dme. -- Our President's crazy, did you hear what he said? ___ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org https://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch

If I tag the send one with deleted (no need to keep it), won't I run the risk to delete both mails?

Re: script to move messages according to tags
Yes, Notmuch considers any email files with the same message-id header as being the same message so won't show you multiple versions of the same email, (unless you're specifically asking for it to with something like --output=files). In normal usage I never worry about the duplicates I get from mailing lists, etc. I hope you'll find notmuch very useful.
