NAME

   notmuch-insert - add a message to the maildir and notmuch database

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.

   The  insert  command  supports  hooks.  See  notmuch-hooks(5)  for more
   details on hooks.

   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.

      --keep Keep the message file if indexing fails, and keep the message
             indexed if applying  tags  or  maildir  flag  synchronization
             fails.  Ignore  these  errors  and  return  exit  status 0 to
             indicate successful mail delivery.

      --no-hooks
             Prevent hooks from being run.

EXIT STATUS

   This command  returns  exit  status  0  on  successful  mail  delivery,
   non-zero  otherwise. The default is to indicate failed mail delivery on
   any errors, including message file delivery to the filesystem,  message
   indexing  to Notmuch database, changing tags, and synchronizing tags to
   maildir flags. The --keep option may be used to settle  for  successful
   message file delivery.

   The exit status of the post-insert hook does not affect the exit status
   of the insert command.
