11 OVERVIEW                                        *notmuch-intro*
12
13 This is a vim plug-in that provides a fully usable mail client interface,
14 utilizing the notmuch framework.
15
16 It has three main views: folders, search, and thread. In the folder view you
17 can find a summary of saved searches, In the search view you can see all the
18 threads that comprise the selected search, and in the thread view you can read
19 every mail in the thread.
20
21 ==============================================================================
22 USAGE                                           *notmuch-usage*
23
24 To use it, simply run the `:NotMuch` command.
25
26 By default you start in the folder view which shows you default searches and
27 the number of threads that match those:
28 >
29         10 new                  (tag:inbox and tag:unread)
30         20 inbox                (tag:inbox)
31         30 unread               (tag:unread)
32 <
33 You can see the threads of each by clicking `enter`, which sends you to the
34 search view. In both the search and folder views you can type `s` to type a
35 new search, or `=` to refresh. To see a thread, type `enter` again.
36
37 To exit a view, click `q`.
38
39 Also, you can specify a search directly:
40 >
41         :NotMuch is:inbox and date:yesterday..
42 <

108                                                 *g:notmuch_custom_show_maps*
109

113                 \ 't':          'search_tag("+to-do -inbox")',
114                 \ 'd':          'search_tag("+deleted -inbox -unread")',
115                 \ }
116
117         let g:notmuch_custom_show_maps = {
118                 \ 't':          'show_tag("+to-do -inbox")',
119                 \ 'd':          'show_tag("+deleted -inbox -unread")',
120                 \ }

129
130                                                 *g:notmuch_datetime_format*
131
132 You can do the same for the thread view:

136
137                                                 *g:notmuch_folders_count_threads*
