Hi,<br>
</p>

<p>
new messages are given a default (configurable) tag, typically <i>new</i> …<br>
This is handy for automatic tagging.<br>
</p>

<p>
What about another automatic tag to re-add to an existing mail when <code>notmuch new</code> detect a moved, renamed or reflagged message …<br>
This would allow something like tag synchro through an <code>IMAP</code> mailbox, or at least keep folder and tag organization coherent while a message is moved …<br>
</p>

<p>
my usecase is :<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>On PC A<br>
<ul>
<li>message <i>1</i> is received from <code>IMAP</code> in default mail folder, given tag <i>new</i><br>
</li>
<li>message <i>1</i> is automatically tagged <i>inbox</i> (see <i>afew</i>)<br>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>On PC B<br>
<ul>
<li>message <i>1</i> is received from <code>IMAP</code> in default mail folder, given tag <i>new</i><br>
</li>
<li>message <i>1</i> is automatically tagged <i>inbox</i> (see <i>afew</i>)<br>
</li>
<li>manual tagging into mail client as <i>archive</i><br>
</li>
<li>mail is moved (see <i>afew</i>) to <i>Archives</i> folder due to <i>archive</i> tag<br>
</li>
<li>message <i>1</i> no more in default but <i>Archives</i> folder is synchronized back to <code>IMAP</code> server<br>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>On PC A (not possible today)<br>
<ul>
<li>message <i>1</i> is re-received from <code>IMAP</code> in <i>Archives</i> folder, and removed from default mail folder, added tag <i>renew</i><br>
<ul>
<li>(today, <code>notmuch new</code> just detect the moved file, and thanksfully keep existing tags)<br>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>message <i>1</i> is automatically tagged <i>archive</i> due to presence in <i>Archives</i> folder (and <i>renew</i> tag)<br>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

<p>
Thank you,<br>
</p>
