Hi, I have hit a weird behaviour with notmuch. I recently saw a drop of the number of messages in my index, and after doing a backup of the current state of the index, I am able to reproduce this behaviour fairly consistently. ie: notmuch is purgin at least 50% of its index of messages that are still in the maildir. I do the following: 1. remove my notmuch database completely. 2. launching `notmuch new`: Found 42059 total files (that's not much mail). Processed 42059 total files in 3m 24s (205 files/sec.). Added 41331 new messages to the database. 3. launching `notmuch new` right after, without having done anything else on my Maildir folder: Cleaned up 5 of 156 directories (1m 9s remaining). No new mail. Removed 22211 messages. Detected 378 file renames. Then I can loop back to step 1 and reproduce the behaviour every single time. If I keep a window with Notmuch Emacs in it, I can see some e-mail disapearing, and search not returning result anymore after the second notmuch new. Is it a know bug? A feature that I do not understand? Anyway, this make notmuch almost unusable right now, since I can't have acces to my full e-mail history, and I endup with conversations with holes in them.
