10 I saw the LWN article and decided to take a look at notmuch. I'm
11 currently using mutt and mairix to index and read a collection of
12 Maildir mail folders (around 40,000 messages total).
14 notmuch indexed the messages without complaint, but my attempt at
15 searching bombed out. Running, for example:
17 notmuch search storage
19 Resulted in 4604 lines of errors along the lines of:
22 /home/lars/Mail/read-messages.2008/cur/1246413773.24928_27334.hostname,U=3026:2,S:
25 I'm curious if this is expected behavior (i.e., notmuch does not work
26 with Maildir) or if something else is going on.

99 I hadn't even seen that Keith's blog post had been picked up by lwn.net.
100 That's very interesting. So, thanks for coming and trying out notmuch.

106 Sadly, the lwn article coincided with me having just introduced this
107 bug, and then getting on a Trans-Atlantic flight. So I fixed the bug
108 fairly quickly, but there was quite a bit of latency before I could push
109 the fix out. It should be fixed now.

114 Notmuch works just fine with maildir---it's one of the things that it
