Looking at [1], I am trying to figure out if/how the semantic equivalent of the pseudo configuration [database] mail_root = ~/.maildir path = ~/.local/share/notmuch/default can be achieved? The docs don't mention that '~' has any special meaning, and my tests agree. How then does one specify directories relative to the user's $HOME ? Simply dropping the ~/ prefix and using .maildir or .local does not seem to work either. I found the latter being suggested in some Internet search result or other, and thought I'd give it a try, but no dice. -Ralph [1] https://notmuchmail.org/doc/latest/man1/notmuch-config.html _______________________________________________ notmuch mailing list -- notmuch@notmuchmail.org To unsubscribe send an email to notmuch-leave@notmuchmail.org
