Well this is embarrassing, but this was indeed the case. I had cleaned the Maildir from what I thought were leftover symlinks from some time long ago. Actually, I had a script that creates, with symlinks, a copy of my mailbox without the dots in the directory names for use with Mutt. I had left out parameter -T from 'ln' so my script also created weird symlinks at ~/Maildir, and thus resurrected the links I thought I cleaned up. And the links were indeed the problem. Everything is working now. Sorry and thanks! -- Perttu ___ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org http://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch

Perttu Luukko perttu.luu...@iki.fi writes: Hi, I decided to give notmuch a spin and installed version 0.18.1 on my mail provider's shell server. The layout offered by my mail provider's Dovecot is such that INBOX is stored in Maildir format at ~/Maildir and other folders are stored as subfolders of ~/Maildir, filename of each directory beginning with a period. In addition, ~/Maildir contains files 'dovecot-uidlist' and dovecot-uidvalidity', and each subdirectory contains an empty file 'maildirfolder' in addition to the usual cur, new and tmp. I don't know if this is an unusual layout or not. It doesn't seem that unusual to me. At least if all the folders are in the top level of Maildir, this is the semi-standard Maildir++ format. When I run 'notmuch new' I get: Found 9903 total files (that's not much mail). Error reading file /home/users/(username)/Maildir/.act/.act: No such file or directory I have a Maildir++ setup myself and I don't have this problem. I ran a fresh notmuch new on Debian Stable with 0.18.1 with an ext3 file system.
