Hi Christoffer, If you have properly configured notmuch for afew (`tags=new;` in "new" section) you should not need `tag:new`. All filters are only applied to messages with initial tag "new". I had a similar problem with suckless.org mailing list. This is how I have solved the problem: [Filter.99] query = from:dev@suckless.org OR to:dev@suckless.org tags = -dev;+dev-suckless -- Amadeusz Żołnowski
