I reassigned to notmuch, since the "Error" message is coming from
notmuch.

Running "notmuch new" with 

           drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Mar 11 07:22 lost+found

(but _not_ a separate file system)

I get

    Error opening directory /home/bremner/Maildir/lost+found: Permission denied
    No new mail.
    Note: A fatal error was encountered: Something went wrong trying to read
    or write a file

For me

    ignore=.git;_notmuch_metadata;.gitignore;lost+found

seems to work, but I haven't tested on a separate file system yet.

If you can duplicate the problem with the "notmuch" command, without
using notmuch-mutt, that would be helpful.
