Hi,

Thanks for your help. Here is the information you requested:

I guess you mean these directories:

$ du -sh Maildir
2,8G	Maildir
$ cd Maildir
$ du -sh .notmuch
1,1G	.notmuch

It started quickly, but its speed decreased, and I interrupted it at
some 4000 messages, if I remember correctly.
