8 **notmuch** **new** [options]
9
10 DESCRIPTION
11 ===========
12
13 Find and import any new messages to the database.
14
15 The **new** command scans all sub-directories of the database,
16 performing full-text indexing on new messages that are found. Each new
17 message will automatically be tagged with both the **inbox** and
18 **unread** tags.
19
20 You should run **notmuch new** once after first running **notmuch
21 setup** to create the initial database. The first run may take a long
22 time if you have a significant amount of mail (several hundred thousand
23 messages or more). Subsequently, you should run **notmuch new** whenever
24 new mail is delivered and you wish to incorporate it into the database.
25 These subsequent runs will be much quicker than the initial run.
26
27 Invoking ``notmuch`` with no command argument will run **new** if
28 **notmuch setup** has previously been completed, but **notmuch new** has
29 not previously been run.
30
31 **notmuch new** updates tags according to maildir flag changes if the
32 **maildir.synchronize\_flags** configuration option is enabled. See
33 **notmuch-config(1)** for details.
34
35 The **new** command supports hooks. See **notmuch-hooks(5)** for more
36 details on hooks.
37
38 Supported options for **new** include
39
40     ``--no-hooks``
