1 <h1>NOTMUCH-ADDRESS(1)</h1>
5 notmuch-address - output addresses from matching messages
10 <b>notmuch</b> <b>address</b> [<u>option</u> ...] <<u>search-term</u>> ...
15 Search for messages matching the given search terms, and display the
16 addresses from them. Duplicate addresses are filtered out.
18 See <a href='../notmuch-search-terms-7/'>notmuch-search-terms</a>(7) for details of the supported syntax for
21 Supported options for <b>address</b> include
23 <b>--format=</b>(<b>json</b>|<b>sexp</b>|<b>text</b>|<b>text0</b>)
24 Presents the results in either JSON, S-Expressions, newline
25 character separated plain-text (default), or null character sep‐
26 arated plain-text (compatible with <b>xargs</b>(1) -0 option where
29 <b>--format-version=N</b>
30 Use the specified structured output format version. This is
31 intended for programs that invoke <a href='../notmuch-1/'>notmuch</a>(1) internally. If
32 omitted, the latest supported version will be used.
34 <b>--output=(sender|recipients|count|address)</b>
35 Controls which information appears in the output. This option
36 can be given multiple times to combine different outputs. When
37 neither <b>--output=sender</b> nor <b>--output=recipients</b> is given, <b>--out-</b>
38 <b>put=sender</b> is implied.
40 <b>sender</b> Output all addresses from the <u>From</u> header.
42 Note: Searching for <b>sender</b> should be much faster than
43 searching for <b>recipients</b>, because sender addresses are
44 cached directly in the database whereas other addresses
45 need to be fetched from message files.
48 Output all addresses from the <u>To</u>, <u>Cc</u> and <u>Bcc</u> headers.
50 <b>count</b> Print the count of how many times was the address encoun‐
53 Note: With this option, addresses are printed only after
54 the whole search is finished. This may take long time.
57 Output only the email addresses instead of the full mail‐
58 boxes with names and email addresses. This option has no
59 effect on the JSON or S-Expression output formats.
61 <b>--deduplicate=(no|mailbox|address)</b>
62 Control the deduplication of results.
64 <b>no</b> Output all occurrences of addresses in the matching mes‐
65 sages. This is not applicable with <b>--output=count</b>.
68 Deduplicate addresses based on the full, case sensitive
69 name and email address, or mailbox. This is effectively
70 the same as piping the <b>--deduplicate=no</b> output to <b>sort</b> <b>|</b>
71 <b>uniq</b>, except for the order of results. This is the
75 Deduplicate addresses based on the case insensitive
76 address part of the mailbox. Of all the variants (with
77 different name or case), print the one occurring most
78 frequently among the matching messages. If <b>--output=count</b>
79 is specified, include all variants in the count.
81 <b>--sort=</b>(<b>newest-first</b>|<b>oldest-first</b>)
82 This option can be used to present results in either chronologi‐
83 cal order (<b>oldest-first</b>) or reverse chronological order (<b>new-</b>
86 By default, results will be displayed in reverse chronological
87 order, (that is, the newest results will be displayed first).
89 However, if either <b>--output=count</b> or <b>--deduplicate=address</b> is
90 specified, this option is ignored and the order of the results
93 <b>--exclude=(true|false)</b>
94 A message is called "excluded" if it matches at least one tag in
95 search.exclude_tags that does not appear explicitly in the
96 search terms. This option specifies whether to omit excluded
97 messages in the search process.
99 The default value, <b>true</b>, prevents excluded messages from match‐
100 ing the search terms.
102 <b>false</b> allows excluded messages to match search terms and appear
103 in displayed results.
108 This command supports the following special exit status codes
110 <b>20</b> The requested format version is too old.
112 <b>21</b> The requested format version is too new.
