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
41 + clicking on "id:Message-ID@example.com" in notmuch-show buffer should search for the referenced message
43 ATM the Message-ID is clickable but results in composing a
44 new email addressed to the Message-Id (which 'looks like' an
45 email address) in message mode. Instead clicking or C-c RET
46 should search the referenced email and show it in a
51 + Allow a custom location for .notmuch
53 The notmuch index is currently saved in .notmuch under the user's
54 Maildir and there's no configuration option to change that.
56 This is problematic with both tools that sync Maildirs and with IMAP
57 servers that consider .notmuch a Maildir subfolder (e.g. dovecot)
59 A better solution would be to add a configuration option for this so
60 that it can be put e.g. in ~/.notmuch
62 + Add a list or pattern for subfolders to ignore
64 Some people are crazy enough to archive e.g. their Spam in their
65 Maildir and perhaps they'd prefer not having them indexed on notmuch.
67 Having a configuration option to exclude or include certain subparts of
68 the user's Maildir would be a very nice feature to have.
70 + Index more headers. Some desired headers:
72 + Received: allows for searches based on the arrival path
73 + Reply-To: allows for searches based on the return address
75 + Allow anchors in searches
77 notmuch search from:domain.org$ only matches if "domain.org" is
78 at the end of the From: header
80 notmuch search from:^username only matches if "username" is at
81 the beginning of the From: header (right after the ':')
83 This leaves the interesting question if we want a way to bind to
84 the actual address component.
90 + NOTE: most of notmuchsync's functionality has been integrated in
91 notmuch 0.5. It probably doesn't make much sense to requests features
92 for it, rather than notmuch itself.
94 + Add feature to move files in the maildir hierarchy
96 notmuchsync --move "searchstring" "targetfolder"
98 Where searchstring is any valid notmuch search
