=========== 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. ``--try-decrypt=(true|false)`` If true, when encountering an encrypted message, try to decrypt it while indexing. If decryption is successful, index the cleartext itself. Be aware that the index is likely sufficient to reconstruct the cleartext of the message itself, so please ensure that the notmuch message index is adequately protected. DO NOT USE ``--try-decrypt=true`` without considering the security of your index. See also ``index.try_decrypt`` in **notmuch-config(1)**. EXIT STATUS =========== This command supports the following special exit status code ``75 (EX_TEMPFAIL)`` A temporary failure occurred; the user is invited to retry.
