Dear All,

is somebody using incrontab to issue 'notmuch new'? I've tried but with
only partial success. I have setup incrotab to run 'notmuch new' when
something changes in my Maildir. However it is not
reliable. E.g. sometimes it works out of the box, sometimes it seems
that 'notmuch new' is simply not invoked at all even if I see in
/var/log/mail.log, that a new mail was delivered correctly to the
folder. Anyone really uses this setup?

I have reverted back to crontab to issue 'notmuch new' every 5
minutes. And frankly speaking, I'm rather thinking to run this command
from emacs directly everytime I either start notmuch, or refresh view
using '=' on notmuch-hello buffer. 

As I'm using remote-notmuch config (using dtach as specified in wiki), I
think it would not represent so much additional 'load' (in terms of
time to display the emails) to issue refresh the notmuch database with
every 'notmuch' refresh.

any ideas?
thanks
d.
