paths are presumed relative to `$HOME` for items in section
**database**.
-database.path
- Notmuch will store its database here, (in
- sub-directory named ``.notmuch`` if **database.mail\_root**
- is unset).
-
- Default: see :ref:`database`
+built_with.<name>
+ Compile time feature <name>. Current possibilities include
+ "retry_lock" (configure option, included by default).
+ (since notmuch 0.30, "compact" and "field_processor" are
+ always included.)
-database.mail_root
- The top-level directory where your mail currently exists and to
- where mail will be delivered in the future. Files should be
- individual email messages.
+database.autocommit
- History: this configuration value was introduced in notmuch 0.32.
+ How often to commit transactions to disk. `0` means wait until
+ command completes, otherwise an integer `n` specifies to commit to
+ disk after every `n` completed transactions.
- Default: For compatibility with older configurations, the value of
- database.path is used if **database.mail\_root** is unset.
+ History: this configuration value was introduced in notmuch 0.33.
database.backup_dir
Directory to store tag dumps when upgrading database.
Default: See HOOKS, below.
-database.autocommit
-
- How often to commit transactions to disk. `0` means wait until
- command completes, otherwise an integer `n` specifies to commit to
- disk after every `n` completed transactions.
-
- History: this configuration value was introduced in notmuch 0.33.
-
-user.name
- Your full name.
-
- Default: ``$NAME`` variable if set, otherwise read from
- ``/etc/passwd``.
-
-user.primary\_email
- Your primary email address.
-
- Default: ``$EMAIL`` variable if set, otherwise constructed from
- the username and hostname of the current machine.
-
-user.other\_email
- A list of other email addresses at which you receive email.
-
- Default: not set.
-
-new.tags
- A list of tags that will be added to all messages incorporated by
- **notmuch new**.
-
- Default: ``unread;inbox``.
-
-new.ignore
- A list to specify files and directories that will not be searched
- for messages by :any:`notmuch-new(1)`. Each entry in the list is either:
-
- A file or a directory name, without path, that will be ignored,
- regardless of the location in the mail store directory hierarchy.
-
- Or:
-
- A regular expression delimited with // that will be matched
- against the path of the file or directory relative to the database
- path. Matching files and directories will be ignored. The
- beginning and end of string must be explicitly anchored. For
- example, /.*/foo$/ would match "bar/foo" and "bar/baz/foo", but
- not "foo" or "bar/foobar".
-
- Default: empty list.
-
-search.exclude\_tags
- A list of tags that will be excluded from search results by
- default. Using an excluded tag in a query will override that
- exclusion.
-
- Default: empty list. Note that :any:`notmuch-setup(1)` puts
- ``deleted;spam`` here when creating new configuration file.
+database.mail_root
+ The top-level directory where your mail currently exists and to
+ where mail will be delivered in the future. Files should be
+ individual email messages.
-maildir.synchronize\_flags
- If true, then the following maildir flags (in message filenames)
- will be synchronized with the corresponding notmuch tags:
+ History: this configuration value was introduced in notmuch 0.32.
- +--------+-----------------------------------------------+
- | Flag | Tag |
- +========+===============================================+
- | D | draft |
- +--------+-----------------------------------------------+
- | F | flagged |

- | P | passed |
- +--------+-----------------------------------------------+

- +--------+-----------------------------------------------+
- | S | unread (added when 'S' flag is not present) |
- +--------+-----------------------------------------------+
+ Default: For compatibility with older configurations, the value of
+ database.path is used if **database.mail\_root** is unset.
- The :any:`notmuch-new(1)` command will notice flag changes in
- filenames and update tags, while the :any:`notmuch-tag(1)` and
- :any:`notmuch-restore(1)` commands will notice tag changes and
- update flags in filenames.
+database.path
+ Notmuch will store its database here, (in
+ sub-directory named ``.notmuch`` if **database.mail\_root**
+ is unset).
- If there have been any changes in the maildir (new messages added,
- old ones removed or renamed, maildir flags changed, etc.), it is
- advisable to run :any:`notmuch-new(1)` before
- :any:`notmuch-tag(1)` or :any:`notmuch-restore(1)` commands to
- ensure the tag changes are properly synchronized to the maildir
- flags, as the commands expect the database and maildir to be in
- sync.
+ Default: see :ref:`database`
- Default: ``true``.

index.decrypt

Default: ``auto``.

prefixes, and an explanation of probabilistic prefixes.
-built_with.<name>
- Compile time feature <name>. Current possibilities include
- "retry_lock" (configure option, included by default).
