+SYNOPSIS
+========
+
+**notmuch** **insert** [option ...] [+<*tag*>|-<*tag*> ...]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+
+**notmuch insert** reads a message from standard input and delivers it
+into the maildir directory given by configuration option
+**database.path**, then incorporates the message into the notmuch
+database. It is an alternative to using a separate tool to deliver the
+message then running **notmuch new** afterwards.
+
+The new message will be tagged with the tags specified by the
+**new.tags** configuration option, then by operations specified on the
+command-line: tags prefixed by '+' are added while those prefixed by '-'
+are removed.
+
+If the new message is a duplicate of an existing message in the database
+(it has same Message-ID), it will be added to the maildir folder and
+notmuch database, but the tags will not be changed.
+
+Option arguments must appear before any tag operation arguments.
+Supported options for **insert** include
+
+    ``--folder=<``\ folder\ **>**
+        Deliver the message to the specified folder, relative to the
+        top-level directory given by the value of **database.path**. The
+        default is to deliver to the top-level directory.
+
+    ``--create-folder``
+        Try to create the folder named by the ``--folder`` option, if it
+        does not exist. Otherwise the folder must already exist for mail
+        delivery to succeed.
+
+EXIT STATUS
+===========
+
+This command returns exit status 0 if the message was successfully added
+to the mail directory, even if the message could not be indexed and
+added to the notmuch database. In the latter case, a warning will be
+printed to standard error but the message file will be left on disk.
+
+If the message could not be written to disk then a non-zero exit status
+is returned.
