It can be disabled by setting the + new maildir.synchronize_flags option in the configuration file. For + example: + + notmuch config set maildir.synchronize_flags false + + Users upgrading may also want to run "notmuch setup" once (just + accept the existing configuration) to get a new, nicely-commented + [maildir] section added to the configuration file. + + For users of the notmuch library, the new synchronization + functionality is available with the following two new functions: + + notmuch_message_maildir_flags_to_tags + notmuch_message_tags_to_maildir_flags + + It is anticipated that future improvements to this support will + allow for safe synchronization of the 'T' flag with the "deleted" + tag, as well as support for custom flag/tag mappings. + +New library features +-------------------- +Support for querying multiple filenames for a single message + + It is common for the mailstore to contain multiple files with the + same message ID.
