The layout offered by my mail provider's +Dovecot is such that INBOX is stored in Maildir format at ~/Maildir and +other folders are stored as subfolders of ~/Maildir, filename of each +directory beginning with a period. In addition, ~/Maildir contains files +'dovecot-uidlist' and dovecot-uidvalidity', and each subdirectory +contains an empty file 'maildirfolder' in addition to the usual cur, new +and tmp. I don't know if this is an unusual layout or not. + +When I run 'notmuch new' I get: + + Found 9903 total files (that's not much mail). + Error reading file /home/users/(username)/Maildir/.act/.act: No such file + or directory + Processed 1 file in almost no time. + Added 1 new message to the database. + Note: A fatal error was encountered: Something went wrong trying to read + or write a file + +The subdirectory .act is really the first (alphabetically) subdirectory +of ~/Maildir, but .act/.act does not exist and I don't know why notmuch +tries to read it. In a following run the .act subdirectory gets replaced +by .Drafts, but the error is the same. So for some reason 'notmuch new' +tries to read for each subdirectory a deeper subdirectory which does not +exist. Only emails in the top-level INBOX folder are added to the +database. The same collection of email offlineimap'd to my local +computer and with a more plain layout (each folder as a subdirectory of +~/mail, no dots) is read without problems. + +What could be going wrong here? Is this a layout that should be indexed +by notmuch? + +Please note that I'm not subscribed to this mailing list -- I'm not +using notmuch yet so I can't handle the volume :) + +-- +Perttu Luukko
