I don't think this is the right approach for two reasons: The exit code you have chosen is still a failure so I will still get notified for a minor issue. I use chronic to detect fail scenarios. This is a pretty normal scenario when you have a mail program open and are auto-running `notmuch new` on a scheduled basis or when new mail arrives. notmuch should just ignore the error and continue as normal. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
