NOTMUCH-REINDEX(1)
NAME
notmuch-reindex - re-index matching messages
SYNOPSIS
notmuch reindex [option ...] <search-term> ...
DESCRIPTION
Re-index all messages matching the search terms.
See notmuch-search-terms(7) for details of the supported syntax for
<search-term>.
The reindex command searches for all messages matching the supplied
search terms, and re-creates the full-text index on these messages
using the supplied options.
Supported options for reindex include
--decrypt=(true|nostash|auto|false)
If true, when encountering an encrypted message, try to decrypt
it while reindexing, stashing any session keys discovered. If
auto, and notmuch already knows about a session key for the mes‐
sage, it will try decrypting using that session key but will not
try to access the user's secret keys. If decryption is success‐
ful, index the cleartext itself.
nostash is the same as true except that it will not stash
newly-discovered session keys in the database.
If false, notmuch reindex will also delete any stashed session
keys for all messages matching the search terms.
Be aware that the index is likely sufficient (and a stashed ses‐
sion key is certainly sufficient) to reconstruct the cleartext
of the message itself, so please ensure that the notmuch message
index is adequately protected. DO NOT USE --decrypt=true or
--decrypt=nostash without considering the security of your
index.
See also index.decrypt in notmuch-config(1).
