The first thing to try is to make a backup of your database with

notmuch dump > notmuch-db.txt

(or whatever you want to call the file).

If this succeeds then follow the steps below. If not, then _maybe_ there
is a way to recover your tags etc., but it will require recompiling some
parts of xapian, so write again.

1) install xapian-tools and run

$ xapian-check ~/.local/share/notmuch/default/xapian

This is mainly for (my) curiousity, but it may highlight some database
corruption or if xapian reports no errors that leans more towards a
notmuch bug.

2)  Move the database out of the way, re-run notmuch new,
and restore your state using "notmuch restore < notmuch-db.txt"
