2 #List of features people have requested and ideas that people want to keep thinking about
8 Removes unread and inbox tags, adds deleted tag.
10 When used from a search results view, it deletes the thread that
13 When used from the thread view, it deletes the currently
14 displayed message inside the thread.
18 Removes unread and inbox tags, adds deleted tag.
20 When used from a search results view, it deletes the thread that
21 the cursor is on (just like 'd')
23 When used from the thread view, it deletes the currently
24 displayed thread (and not just the message)
26 + add '???' keybinding
28 Skips current thread without archiving it
30 Right now 'n' gets me to the end of a thread, but not to the
31 beginning of the next thread. 'a' gets you to the next thread,
32 but archives the current one.
34 + select from address (with the configured email addresses as default choices to pick from)
36 + allow different "real names" for the optional email addresses
38 if only one name is configured, use that for all addresses;
39 if other_names are configured, match those with the other_email addresses
44 + Allow a custom location for .notmuch
46 The notmuch index is currently saved in .notmuch under the user's
47 Maildir and there's no configuration option to change that.
49 This is problematic with both tools that sync Maildirs and with IMAP
50 servers that consider .notmuch a Maildir subfolder (e.g. dovecot)
52 A better solution would be to add a configuration option for this so
53 that it can be put e.g. in ~/.notmuch
55 + Add a list or pattern for subfolders to ignore
57 Some people are crazy enough to archive e.g. their Spam in their
58 Maildir and perhaps they'd prefer not having them indexed on notmuch.
60 Having a configuration option to exclude or include certain subparts of
61 the user's Maildir would be a very nice feature to have.
63 + Index more headers. Some desired headers:
65 + Received: allows for searches based on the arrival path
66 + Reply-To: allows for searches based on the return address
68 + Allow anchors in searches
70 notmuch search from:domain.org$ only matches if "domain.org" is
71 at the end of the From: header
73 notmuch search from:^username only matches if "username" is at
74 the beginning of the From: header (right after the ':')
76 This leaves the interesting question if we want a way to bind to
77 the actual address component.
79 + Add folder tags to mail automatically
81 Add the name of the IMAP folder as the tag for mails. This way,
82 server-side filtering can be directly used by notmuch to tag all
89 + NOTE: most of notmuchsync's functionality has been integrated in
90 notmuch 0.5. It probably doesn't make much sense to requests features
91 for it, rather than notmuch itself.
93 + Add feature to move files in the maildir hierarchy
95 notmuchsync --move "searchstring" "targetfolder"
97 Where searchstring is any valid notmuch search
