63 In my config, I have:
\r
65 --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\r
67 path=/home/horn/Mail/Dovecot
\r
68 --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
\r
70 In that directory, there are two symlinks pointing to the real mail
\r
71 location in /var/spool/mail:
\r
73 --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\r
74 [horn@localhost][~/Mail/Dovecot][0][5213]
\r
77 lrwxrwxrwx 1 horn horn 34 Nov 23 14:49 fastmail -> /var/spool/mail/fastmail/mailboxes
\r
78 lrwxrwxrwx 1 horn horn 29 Nov 23 14:49 uni -> /var/spool/mail/uni/mailboxes
\r
79 --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
\r
81 Whenever I delete those symlinks and created them anew, the new mails
\r
82 get indexed with the next "notmuch new". Of course, I could create a
\r
83 script that does exactly that, but there should be a better way, right?
