*notmuch.txt* Plug-in to make vim a nice email client using notmuch Author: Felipe Contreras Overview |notmuch-intro| Usage |notmuch-usage| Mappings |notmuch-mappings| Configuration |notmuch-config| ============================================================================== OVERVIEW *notmuch-intro* This is a vim plug-in that provides a fully usable mail client interface, utilizing the notmuch framework. It has three main views: folders, search, and thread. In the folder view you can find a summary of saved searches, In the search view you can see all the threads that comprise the selected search, and in the thread view you can read every mail in the thread. ============================================================================== USAGE *notmuch-usage* To use it, simply run the `:NotMuch` command. By default you start in the folder view which shows you default searches and the number of threads that match those: > 10 new (tag:inbox and tag:unread) 20 inbox (tag:inbox) 30 unread (tag:unread) < You can see the threads of each by clicking `enter`, which sends you to the search view. In both the search and folder views you can type `s` to type a new search, or `=` to refresh. To see a thread, type `enter` again. To exit a view, click `q`. Also, you can specify a search directly: > :NotMuch is:inbox and date:yesterday.. < ============================================================================== MAPPINGS *notmuch-mappings* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Folder view~ Show selected search s Enter a new search = Refresh c Compose a new mail ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Search view~ q Quit view Show selected search Show selected search with filter A Archive (-inbox -unread) I Mark as read (-unread) t Tag (prompted) s Search = Refresh ?
