+<h1>NOTMUCH-INSERT(1)</h1>
+
+<h2>NAME</h2>
+<pre>
+ notmuch-insert - add a message to the maildir and notmuch database
+</pre>
+
+<h2>SYNOPSIS</h2>
+<pre>
+ <b>notmuch</b> <b>insert</b> [<u>options</u>] [ +<<u>tag</u>>|-<<u>tag</u>> ... ]
+</pre>
+
+<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
+<pre>
+ <b>notmuch</b> <b>insert</b> reads a message from standard input and delivers it into
+ the maildir directory given by configuration option <b>database.path</b>, then
+ incorporates the message into the notmuch database. It is an alterna-
+ tive to using a separate tool to deliver the message then running <b>not-</b>
+ <b>much</b> <b>new</b> afterwards.
+
+ The new message will be tagged with the tags specified by the <b>new.tags</b>
+ 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 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 <b>insert</b> include
+
+ <b>--folder=</b><<b>&</b>lt;<u>folder</u>><b>&</b>gt;
+
+ Deliver the message to the specified folder, relative to the
+ top-level directory given by the value of <b>database.path</b>. The
+ default is to deliver to the top-level directory.
+
+ <b>--create-folder</b>
+
+ Try to create the folder named by the <b>--folder</b> option, if it
+ does not exist. Otherwise the folder must already exist for
+ mail delivery to succeed.
+</pre>
+
+<h2>EXIT STATUS</h2>
+<pre>
+ 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.
