Tag timestamps and synchronization

One of the features I would like to see from notmuch is an easier ability to synchronize tags across machines. At the very least, I would need either incremental dump and restore, or some way to communicate arbitrary tags to a local imap server that shares notmuch's maildir (much as notmuch

Re: [PATCH] Add configurable changed tag to messages that have been changed on disk

Gaute Hope e...@gaute.vetsj.com writes: A better approach would be to add a new modtime xapian value that is updated whenever the tags or any other terms (such as XFDIRENTRY) are added to or deleted from a docid. If it's a Xapian value, rather than a term, then modtime will be queriable just

David Bremner da...@tethera.net writes: Exactly. It could be a tick, or just the current time of day if your clock does not go backwards. (I'd be willing to do a full scan if the clock ever goes backwards.) The advantage of time is that you don't have to synchronously update some counter.

folder and path completely broken in HEAD?

Hey, I'm playing around with the head of the git repository (bc64cdce289d84be2550c4fccb1f008d15eaeb0e) to try to figure out how the new folder: prefixes work, as folders are a critical part of how I organize my mail. (Since tags are not hierarchical, folders are the best way for me to group mail

What to people use for calendar invites?

I've been running into this issue lately where I agree to meet people and we say it's confirmed, but if don't send them a calendar invite of mime type text/calendar, then it's as if we never agreed and they don't show up. I get, Oh, you never sent me a calendar invite so it wasn't in my calendar.

Enabling and disabling maildir.synchronize_flags

Sorry if this question is answered somewhere, but I'm wondering: What is the best way to enable and disable maildir.synchronize_flags? It seems that disabling it should simply be safe. But re-enabling, one risks losing tags, as the next notmuch new will cause old maildir flags to override the
