notmuch-config(1)
NAME
notmuch-config - access notmuch configuration file
SYNOPSIS
notmuch config get <section>.<item> notmuch config set <section>.<item> [value ...] notmuch config list
DESCRIPTION
The config command can be used to get or set settings in the notmuch
configuration file.
get The value of the specified configuration item is printed to
stdout. If the item has multiple values (it is a list), each
value is separated by a newline character.
set The specified configuration item is set to the given value.
To specify a multiple-value item (a list), provide each value
as a separate command-line argument.
If no values are provided, the specified configuration item
will be removed from the configuration file.
list Every configuration item is printed to stdout, each on a
separate line of the form:
section.item=value
No additional whitespace surrounds the dot or equals sign
characters. In a multiple-value item (a list), the values are
separated by semicolon characters.
The available configuration items are described below.
database.path
The top-level directory where your mail currently exists and
to where mail will be delivered in the future. Files should
be individual email messages. Notmuch will store its database
within a sub-directory of the path configured here named
.notmuch.
Default: $MAILDIR variable if set, otherwise $HOME/mail.
user.name
Your full name.
Default: $NAME variable if set, otherwise read from
/etc/passwd.
user.primary_email
Your primary email address.
Default: $EMAIL variable if set, otherwise constructed from
the username and hostname of the current machine.
user.other_email
A list of other email addresses at which you receive email.
Default: not set.
new.tags
A list of tags that will be added to all messages
incorporated by notmuch new.
Default: unread;inbox.
new.ignore
A list of file and directory names, without path, that will
not be searched for messages by notmuch new. All the files
and directories matching any of the names specified here will
be ignored, regardless of the location in the mail store
directory hierarchy.
Default: empty list.
search.exclude_tags
A list of tags that will be excluded from search results by
default. Using an excluded tag in a query will override that
exclusion.
Default: empty list. Note that notmuch-setup(1) puts
deleted;spam here when creating new configuration file.
maildir.synchronize_flags
If true, then the following maildir flags (in message
filenames) will be synchronized with the corresponding
notmuch tags:
Flag Tag
D draft
F flagged
P passed
R replied
S unread (added when 'S'
flag is not present)
The notmuch new command will notice flag changes in filenames
and update tags, while the notmuch tag and notmuch restore
commands will notice tag changes and update flags in
filenames.
If there have been any changes in the maildir (new messages
added, old ones removed or renamed, maildir flags changed,
etc.), it is advisable to run notmuch new before notmuch tag
or notmuch restore commands to ensure the tag changes are
properly synchronized to the maildir flags, as the commands
expect the database and maildir to be in sync.
Default: true.
crypto.gpg_path
Name (or full path) of gpg binary to use in verification and
decryption of PGP/MIME messages.
Default: gpg.
built_with.<name>
Compile time feature <name>. Current possibilities include
"compact" (see notmuch-compact(1)) and "field_processor" (see
notmuch-search-terms(7)).
query.<name>
Expansion for named query called <name>. See
notmuch-search-terms(7) for more information about named
queries.
ENVIRONMENT
The following environment variables can be used to control the behavior
of notmuch.
NOTMUCH_CONFIG
Specifies the location of the notmuch configuration file.
Notmuch will use ${HOME}/.notmuch-config if this variable is not
set.
