notmuch doesn't seem to use the value of the $MAILDIR option when assigning `database.path`. On a new install from notmuch version 0.32 I ran `notmuch` to initialise a config and then `notmuch new` which produces the output ``` Found 4 total files (that's not much mail). Note: Ignoring non-mail file: /home/mohkale/.local/share/notmuch/default/xapian/flintlock Note: Ignoring non-mail file: /home/mohkale/.local/share/notmuch/default/xapian/termlist.glass Note: Ignoring non-mail file: /home/mohkale/.local/share/notmuch/default/xapian/postlist.glass Note: Ignoring non-mail file: /home/mohkale/.local/share/notmuch/default/xapian/iamglass Processed 4 total files in almost no time. No new mail. ``` notmuch seems to default to using ~/.local/share/notmuch for the `database.path` value instead of MAILDIR like the manual for notmuch-config states. S.N. My value of $MAILDIR is `~/docs/mail`. It exists in the maildir format and has several mail files available already. _______________________________________________ notmuch mailing list -- notmuch@notmuchmail.org To unsubscribe send an email to notmuch-leave@notmuchmail.org
