=========== notmuch-new =========== SYNOPSIS ======== **notmuch** **new** [options] DESCRIPTION =========== Find and import any new messages to the database. The **new** command scans all sub-directories of the database, performing full-text indexing on new messages that are found. Each new message will automatically be tagged with both the **inbox** and **unread** tags. You should run **notmuch new** once after first running **notmuch setup** to create the initial database. The first run may take a long time if you have a significant amount of mail (several hundred thousand messages or more). Subsequently, you should run **notmuch new** whenever new mail is delivered and you wish to incorporate it into the database. These subsequent runs will be much quicker than the initial run. Invoking ``notmuch`` with no command argument will run **new** if **notmuch setup** has previously been completed, but **notmuch new** has not previously been run. **notmuch new** updates tags according to maildir flag changes if the **maildir.synchronize\_flags** configuration option is enabled. See **notmuch-config(1)** for details. The **new** command supports hooks. See **notmuch-hooks(5)** for more details on hooks. Supported options for **new** include ``--no-hooks`` Prevents hooks from being run. ``--quiet`` Do not print progress or results. EXIT STATUS =========== This command supports the following special exit status code ``75 (EX_TEMPFAIL)`` A temporary failure occured; the user is invited to retry.
