DESCRIPTION
The config command can be used to get or set settings in the notmuch
- configuration file.
+ configuration file and corresponding database.
- get
+ Items marked [STORED IN DATABASE] are only in the database. They
+ should not be placed in the configuration file, and should be accessed
+ programmatically as described in the SYNOPSIS above.
- The value of the specified configuration item is printed to
- stdout. If the item has multiple values (it is a list), each
- value is separated by a newline character.
+ get The value of the specified configuration item is printed to stdâ
+ out. If the item has multiple values (it is a list), each value
+ is separated by a newline character.
- set
+ set The specified configuration item is set to the given value. To
+ specify a multiple-value item (a list), provide each value as a
+ separate command-line argument.
- The specified configuration item is set to the given value.
- To specify a multiple-value item (a list), provide each
- value as a separate command-line argument.
+ If no values are provided, the specified configuration item will
+ be removed from the configuration file.
- If no values are provided, the specified configuration item
- will be removed from the configuration file.
+ list Every configuration item is printed to stdout, each on a sepaâ

- Every configuration item is printed to stdout, each on a
- separate line of the form:
-
- section.item=value
-
- No additional whitespace surrounds the dot or equals sign
- characters. In a multiple-value item (a list), the values
- are separated by semicolon characters.
+ No additional whitespace surrounds the dot or equals sign charâ
+ acters. In a multiple-value item (a list), the values are sepaâ
+ rated by semicolon characters.
The available configuration items are described below.
- database.path
-
- 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. Notmuch will store its
- database within a sub-directory of the path configured here
- named .notmuch.
-
- user.name
-
- Your full name.
-
- user.primary_email
-
- Your primary email address.
-
- user.other_email
-
- A list of other email addresses at which you receive email.
-
- new.tags
-
- A list of tags that will be added to all messages incorpo-
- rated by notmuch new.
-
- new.ignore
-
- A list of file and directory names, without path, that will
- not be searched for messages by notmuch new. All the files
- and directories matching any of the names specified here
- will be ignored, regardless of the location in the mail
- store directory hierarchy.
-
- 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.
-
- maildir.synchronize_flags
-
- If true, then the following maildir flags (in message file-
- names) will be synchronized with the corresponding notmuch
- tags:
-
- +-----+----------------------------+
- |Flag | Tag
- +-----+----------------------------+
- |D | draft
- +-----+----------------------------+
- |F | flagged
- +-----+----------------------------+
- |P | passed
- +-----+----------------------------+
- |R | replied
- +-----+----------------------------+
- |S | unread (added when 'S' |
- | | flag is not present) |
- +-----+----------------------------+
-
- The notmuch new command will notice flag changes in file-
- names and update tags, while the notmuch tag and notmuch
- restore commands will notice tag changes and update flags in
- filenames.
-
- 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 notmuch new before notmuch tag
- or notmuch restore 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.
+ database.path
+ 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. Notmuch will store its database
+ within a sub-directory of the path configured here named .not-
+ much.
+
+ Default: $MAILDIR variable if set, otherwise $HOME/mail.
+
+ user.name
+ Your full name.
+
+ Default: $NAME variable if set, otherwise read from /etc/passwd.
+
+ user.primary_email
+ Your primary email address.
+
+ Default: $EMAIL variable if set, otherwise constructed from the
+ username and hostname of the current machine.
+
+ user.other_email
+ A list of other email addresses at which you receive email.
+
+ Default: not set.
+
+ new.tags
+ A list of tags that will be added to all messages incorporated
+ by notmuch new.
+
+ Default: unread;inbox.
+
+ new.ignore
+ A list to specify files and directories that will not be
+ searched for messages by notmuch new. Each entry in the list is
+ either:
+
+ A file or a directory name, without path, that will be ignored,
+ regardless of the location in the mail store directory hierarâ
+ chy.
+
+ Or:
+
+ A regular expression delimited with // that will be matched
+ against the path of the file or directory relative to the dataâ
+ base path. Matching files and directories will be ignored. The
+ beginning and end of string must be explicitly anchored. For
+ example, /.*/foo$/ 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 notmuch-setup(1) puts
+ deleted;spam here when creating new configuration file.
+
+ maildir.synchronize_flags
+ If true, then the following maildir flags (in message filenames)
+ will be synchronized with the corresponding notmuch tags:
+
+ âââââââ¬âââââââââââââââââââââââââââââ
+ âFlag â Tag â
+ âââââââ¼âââââââââââââââââââââââââââââ¤

+ âS â unread (added when 'S' â
+ â â flag is not present) â
+ âââââââ´âââââââââââââââââââââââââââââ
+
+ The notmuch new command will notice flag changes in filenames
+ and update tags, while the notmuch tag and notmuch restore comâ
+ mands will notice tag changes and update flags in filenames.
+
+ 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 notmuch new before notmuch tag or
+ notmuch restore 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: true.
+
+ index.decrypt [STORED IN DATABASE]
+ Policy for decrypting encrypted messages during indexing. Must
+ be one of: false, auto, nostash, or true.
+
+ When indexing an encrypted e-mail message, if this variable is
+ set to true, notmuch will try to decrypt the message and index
+ the cleartext, stashing a copy of any discovered session keys
+ for the message. If auto, it will try to index the cleartext if
+ a stashed session key is already known for the message (e.g.
+ from a previous copy), but will not try to access your secret
+ keys. Use false to avoid decrypting even when a stashed session
+ key is already present.
+
+ nostash is the same as true except that it will not stash
+ newly-discovered session keys in the database.
+
+ From the command line (i.e. during notmuch-new(1), notâ
+ much-insert(1), or notmuch-reindex(1)), the user can override
+ the database's stored decryption policy with the --decrypt=
+ option.
+
+ Here is a table that summarizes the functionality of each of
+ these policies:
+
+ ââââââââââââââââ¬ââââââââ¬âââââââ¬ââââââââââ¬âââââââ
+ â â false â auto â nostash â true â
+ ââââââââââââââââ¼ââââââââ¼âââââââ¼ââââââââââ¼âââââââ¤
+ âIndex cleartâ â â X â X â X â
+ âext using â â â â â
+ âstashed sesâ â â â â â
+ âsion keys â â â â â
+ ââââââââââââââââ¼ââââââââ¼âââââââ¼ââââââââââ¼âââââââ¤

+ âext using â â â â â
+ âsecret keys â â â â â

+ âkeys
+ ââââââââââââââââ¼ââââââââ¼âââââââ¼ââââââââââ¼âââââââ¤

+ ââââââââââââââââ´ââââââââ´âââââââ´ââââââââââ´âââââââ
+
+ Stashed session keys are kept in the database as properties
+ associated with the message. See session-key in notmuch-properâ
+ ties(7) for more details about how they can be useful.
+
+ Be aware that the notmuch index is likely sufficient (and a
+ stashed session key is certainly sufficient) to reconstruct the
+ cleartext of the message itself, so please ensure that the notâ
+ much message index is adequately protected. DO NOT USE
+ index.decrypt=true or index.decrypt=nostash without considering
+ the security of your index.
+
+ Default: auto.
+
+ index.header.<prefix> [STORED IN DATABASE]
+ Define the query prefix <prefix>, based on a mail header. For
+ example index.header.List=List-Id will add a probabilistic preâ
+ fix List: that searches the List-Id field. User defined preâ
+ fixes must not start with 'a'...'z'; in particular adding a preâ
+ fix with same name as a predefined prefix is not supported. See
+ notmuch-search-terms(7) for a list of existing prefixes, and an
+ explanation of probabilistic prefixes.
+
+ 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.)
+
+ query.<name> [STORED IN DATABASE]
+ Expansion for named query called <name>. See notâ
+ much-search-terms(7) for more information about named queries.
