-+    Add folder keyword
++    Allow a custom location for .notmuch

+     The notmuch index is currently saved in .notmuch under the user's

+     This is problematic with both tools that sync Maildirs and with IMAP
+     servers that consider .notmuch a Maildir subfolder (e.g. dovecot)
+
+     A better solution would be to add a configuration option for this so
+     that it can be put e.g. in ~/.notmuch
