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

131 I've also pushed a slightly more complicated (and complete) fix to my
132 private notmuch repository

138 Oops. Looks like Carl's mail server is broken. He's traveling to
139 Barcelona today and so it won't get fixed for a while.
141 Thanks to everyone for trying out notmuch!

154 The version of lib/messages.cc in your repo doesn't build because it's
155 missing "#include <stdint.h>" (for the uint32_t on line 466).

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

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