Removing those but keeping newly ignored messages seems > inconsistent to me and it did confuse me. Notmuch new works very hard to not visit files that haven't changed. Changing this would have a big negative performance impact, afaik. I care less about the performance of reindex; also it already rescans all the relevant messages, so I guess the performance impact would not be that bad. Sometimes it's worth giving up performance for more intuitive behaviour, but most people seem to manage with the current behaviour. d ___ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org https://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch

Re: [FEATURE] Purge ignored messages from index
Don't they need to be in the index in order to match the ignore condition, which then allows them to be excluded from usual activities? What's the actual thing you're hoping to achieve by not having those ignored messages be in the index?

[FEATURE] Purge ignored messages from index
Indexed but subsequently ignored messages remain indexed. I suggest to purge them from the index as if the files were removed. Example: * Create index including spam directory * Add spam directory to ignore list * Neither ´new´ nor ´reindex 'folder:spam'´ purges the spam messages from the index Markus ___ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org https://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch
