+# .notmuch-config - Configuration file for the notmuch mail system
+#
+# For more information about notmuch, see https://notmuchmail.org
+
+# Database configuration
+#
+# The only value supported here is 'path' which should be 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".
+#
+[database]
+path=/path/to/maildir
+
+# User configuration
+#
+# Here is where you can let notmuch know how you would like to be
+# addressed. Valid settings are
+#
+#	name		Your full name.
+#	primary_email	Your primary email address.
+#	other_email	A list (separated by ';') of other email addresses
+#			at which you receive email.
+#
+# Notmuch will use the various email addresses configured here when
+# formatting replies. It will avoid including your own addresses in the
+# recipient list of replies, and will set the From address based on the
+# address to which the original email was addressed.
+#
+[user]
+name=Test Suite
+primary_email=test.suite@example.com
+other_email=another.suite@example.com;
+
+# Configuration for "notmuch new"
+#
+# The following options are supported here:
+#
+#	tags	A list (separated by ';') of the tags that will be
+#		added to all messages incorporated by "notmuch new".
+#
+#	ignore	A list (separated by ';') of file and directory names
+#		that will not be searched for messages by "notmuch new".
+#
+#		NOTE: *Every* file/directory that goes by one of those
+#		names will be ignored, independent of its depth/location
+#		in the mail store.

+# Search configuration
+#
+# The following option is supported here:
+#
+#	exclude_tags
+#		A ;-separated list of tags that will be excluded from
+#		search results by default.  Using an excluded tag in a
+#		query will override that exclusion.
+#
+[search]

+
+# Maildir compatibility configuration
+#
+# The following option is supported here:
+#
+#	synchronize_flags      Valid values are true and false.
+#
+#	If true, then the following maildir flags (in message filenames)
+#	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 filenames
+#	and update tags, while the "notmuch tag" and "notmuch restore"
+#	commands will notice tag changes and update flags in filenames
+#
