DESCRIPTION

        notmuch insert reads a message from standard input and delivers it into
-       the maildir directory given by configuration option database.path, then
-       incorporates  the  message into the notmuch database. It is an alterna-
-       tive to using a separate tool to deliver the message then running  not-
-       much new afterwards.
+       the maildir directory given by configuration option database.mail_root,
+       then  incorporates  the message into the notmuch database. It is an al‐
+       ternative to using a separate tool to deliver the message then  running
+       notmuch-new(1) afterwards.
 
        The  new message will be tagged with the tags specified by the new.tags
        configuration option, then by operations specified on the command-line:
        tags prefixed by '+' are added while those prefixed by '-' are removed.
 
-       If the new message is  a  duplicate  of  an  existing  message  in  the
-       database  (it  has  same  Message-ID),  it will be added to the maildir
-       folder and notmuch database, but the tags will not be changed.
+       If  the  new message is a duplicate of an existing message in the data‐
+       base (it has same Message-ID), it will be added to the  maildir  folder
+       and notmuch database, but the tags will not be changed.
 
-       Option arguments must appear before any tag operation arguments.   Sup-
-       ported options for insert include
-
-           --folder=<folder>
-
-                  Deliver the message to the specified folder, relative to the
-                  top-level directory given by the value of database.path. The
-                  default is to deliver to the top-level directory.
+       The  insert  command  supports hooks. See notmuch-hooks(5) for more de‐
+       tails on hooks.
 
-           --create-folder
+       Option arguments must appear before any tag operation arguments.   Sup‐
+       ported options for insert include
 
-                  Try to create the folder named by the --folder option, if it
-                  does not exist. Otherwise the folder must already exist  for
-                  mail delivery to succeed.
+       --folder=<folder>
+              Deliver  the  message  to  the specified folder, relative to the
+              top-level directory given by the  value  of  database.mail_root.
+              The  default  is the empty string, which means delivering to the
+              top-level directory.
+
+       --create-folder
+              Try to create the folder named by the  --folder  option,  if  it
+              does not exist. Otherwise the folder must already exist for mail
+              delivery to succeed.
+
+       --keep Keep the message file if indexing fails, and  keep  the  message
+              indexed  if applying tags or maildir flag synchronization fails.
+              Ignore these errors and return exit status 0  to  indicate  suc‐
+              cessful mail delivery.
+
+       --no-hooks
+              Prevent hooks from being run.
+
+       --world-readable
+              When  writing  mail to the mailbox, allow it to be read by users
+              other than the current user.  Note that this does  not  override
+              umask.   By default, delivered mail is only readable by the cur‐
+              rent user.
+
+       --decrypt=(true|nostash|auto|false)
+              If true and the message is encrypted, try to decrypt the message
+              while  indexing, stashing any session keys discovered.  If auto,
+              and notmuch already knows about a session key for  the  message,
+              it  will  try decrypting using that session key but will not try
+              to access the user's secret keys.  If decryption is  successful,
+              index  the  cleartext itself.  Either way, the message is always
+              stored to disk in its original form (ciphertext).
+
+              nostash is the same as  true  except  that  it  will  not  stash
+              newly-discovered session keys in the database.
+
+              Be aware that the index is likely sufficient (and a stashed ses‐
+              sion key is certainly sufficient) to reconstruct  the  cleartext
+              of the message itself, so please ensure that the notmuch message
+              index is adequately protected.  DO  NOT  USE  --decrypt=true  or
+              --decrypt=nostash  without  considering the security of your in‐
+              dex.
+
+              See also index.decrypt in notmuch-config(1).
 

EXIT STATUS

-       This  command  returns  exit  status  0 if the message was successfully
-       added to the mail directory, even if the message could not  be  indexed
-       and  added  to the notmuch database. In the latter case, a warning will
-       be printed to standard error but the message file will be left on disk.
-
-       If the message could not be written to disk then a non-zero exit status
-       is returned.
+       This command  returns  exit  status  0  on  successful  mail  delivery,
+       non-zero  otherwise. The default is to indicate failed mail delivery on
+       any errors, including message file delivery to the filesystem,  message
+       indexing  to Notmuch database, changing tags, and synchronizing tags to
+       maildir flags. The --keep option may be used to settle  for  successful
+       message file delivery.
+
+       This command supports the following special exit status code for errors
+       most likely to be temporary in nature, e.g. failure to get  a  database
+       write lock.
+
+       75 (EX_TEMPFAIL)
+              A temporary failure occurred; the user is invited to retry.
+
+       The exit status of the post-insert hook does not affect the exit status
+       of the insert command.
