For more +-information on e.g. +-.B notmuch show +-consult the \fBnotmuch-show\fR(1) man page, also accessible via +-.B notmuch help show +- +-The quickest way to get started with Notmuch is to simply invoke the +-.B notmuch +-command with no arguments, which will interactively guide you through +-the process of indexing your mail. +-.SH NOTE +-While the command-line program +-.B notmuch +-provides powerful functionality, it does not provide the most +-convenient interface for that functionality. More sophisticated +-interfaces are expected to be built on top of either the command-line +-interface, or more likely, on top of the notmuch library +-interface. See http://notmuchmail.org for more about alternate +-interfaces to notmuch. The emacs-based interface to notmuch (available under +-.B emacs/ +-in the Notmuch source distribution) is probably the most widely used at +-this time. +- +-.SH OPTIONS +- +-Supported global options for +-.B notmuch +-include +- +-.RS 4 +-.TP 4 +-.B \-\-help +- +-Print a synopsis of available commands and exit. +-.RE +- +-.RS 4 +-.TP 4 +-.B \-\-version +- +-Print the installed version of notmuch, and exit. +-.RE +- +-.RS 4 +-.TP 4 +-.B \-\-config=FILE +- +-Specify the configuration file to use. This overrides any +-configuration file specified by ${NOTMUCH_CONFIG}. +- +-.RE +- +-.SH COMMANDS +- +- +-.SS SETUP +- +-The +-.B notmuch setup +-command is used to configure Notmuch for first use, (or to reconfigure +-it later). +- +-The setup command will prompt for your full name, your primary email +-address, any alternate email addresses you use, and the directory +-containing your email archives. Your answers will be written to a +-configuration file in ${NOTMUCH_CONFIG} (if set) or +-${HOME}/.notmuch-config . This configuration file will be created with +-descriptive comments, making it easy to edit by hand later to change the +-configuration. Or you can run +-.B "notmuch setup" +-again to change the configuration. +- +-The mail directory you specify can contain any number of +-sub-directories and should primarily contain only files with individual +-email messages (eg. maildir or mh archives are perfect). If there are +-other, non-email files (such as indexes maintained by other email +-programs) then notmuch will do its best to detect those and ignore +-them. +- +-Mail storage that uses mbox format, (where one mbox file contains many +-messages), will not work with notmuch. If that's how your mail is +-currently stored, it is recommended you first convert it to maildir +-format with a utility such as mb2md before running +-.B "notmuch setup" . +- +-Invoking +-.B notmuch +-with no command argument will run +-.B setup +-if the setup command has not previously been completed. +-.RE +- +-.SS OTHER COMMANDS +- +-Several of the notmuch commands accept search terms with a common +-syntax. See \fNnotmuch-search-terms\fR(7) +-for more details on the supported syntax. +- +-The +-.BR search ", " show " and " count +-commands are used to query the email database. +- +-The +-.B reply +-command is useful for preparing a template for an email reply. +- +-The +-.B tag +-command is the only command available for manipulating database +-contents. +- +- +-The +-.BR dump " and " restore +-commands can be used to create a textual dump of email tags for backup +-purposes, and to restore from that dump. +- +-The +-.B config +-command can be used to get or set settings int the notmuch +-configuration file. +- +-.SH ENVIRONMENT +-The following environment variables can be used to control the +-behavior of notmuch. +-.TP +-.B NOTMUCH_CONFIG +-Specifies the location of the notmuch configuration file. Notmuch will +-use ${HOME}/.notmuch\-config if this variable is not set. +- +-.TP +-.B NOTMUCH_TALLOC_REPORT +-Location to write a talloc memory usage report. See +-.B talloc_enable_leak_report_full +-in \fBtalloc\fR(3) +-for more information. +- +-.TP +-.B NOTMUCH_DEBUG_QUERY +-If set to a non-empty value, the notmuch library will print (to stderr) Xapian +-queries it constructs. +- +-.SH SEE ALSO +- +-\fBnotmuch-config\fR(1), \fBnotmuch-count\fR(1), +-\fBnotmuch-dump\fR(1), \fBnotmuch-hooks\fR(5), +-\fBnotmuch-insert\fR(1), \fBnotmuch-new\fR(1), +-\fBnotmuch-reply\fR(1), \fBnotmuch-restore\fR(1), +-\fBnotmuch-search\fR(1), \fBnotmuch-search-terms\fR(7), +-\fBnotmuch-show\fR(1), \fBnotmuch-tag\fR(1) +- +- +-The notmuch website: +-.B http://notmuchmail.org +-.SH CONTACT +-Feel free to send questions, comments, or kudos to the notmuch mailing +-list .

Only the directory components below the +-top-level mail database path are available to be searched. +- +-The +-.B date: +-prefix can be used to restrict the results to only messages within a +-particular time range (based on the Date: header) with a range syntax +-of: +- +- date:.. +- +-See \fBDATE AND TIME SEARCH\fR below for details on the range +-expression, and supported syntax for and date and time +-expressions. +- +-The time range can also be specified using timestamps with a syntax +-of: +- +- .. +- +-Each timestamp is a number representing the number of seconds since +-1970\-01\-01 00:00:00 UTC. +- +-In addition to individual terms, multiple terms can be +-combined with Boolean operators ( +-.BR and ", " or ", " not +-, etc.). Each term in the query will be implicitly connected by a +-logical AND if no explicit operator is provided, (except that terms +-with a common prefix will be implicitly combined with OR until we get +-Xapian defect #402 fixed). +- +-Parentheses can also be used to control the combination of the Boolean +-operators, but will have to be protected from interpretation by the +-shell, (such as by putting quotation marks around any parenthesized +-expression). +- +-.SH DATE AND TIME SEARCH +- +-notmuch understands a variety of standard and natural ways of +-expressing dates and times, both in absolute terms ("2012-10-24") and +-in relative terms ("yesterday"). Any number of relative terms can be +-combined ("1 hour 25 minutes") and an absolute date/time can be +-combined with relative terms to further adjust it. A non-exhaustive +-description of the syntax supported for absolute and relative terms is +-given below. +- +-.RS 4 +-.TP 4 +-.B The range expression +- +-date:.. +- +-The above expression restricts the results to only messages from +- to , based on the Date: header. +- +- and can describe imprecise times, such as "yesterday". +-In this case, is taken as the earliest time it could describe +-(the beginning of yesterday) and is taken as the latest time +-it could describe (the end of yesterday). Similarly, +-date:january..february matches from the beginning of January to the +-end of February. +- +-Currently, we do not support spaces in range expressions. You can +-replace the spaces with '_', or (in most cases) '-', or (in some +-cases) leave the spaces out altogether. Examples in this man page use +-spaces for clarity. +- +-Open-ended ranges are supported (since Xapian 1.2.1), i.e. it's +-possible to specify date:.. or date:.. to not limit the +-start or end time, respectively. Pre-1.2.1 Xapian does not report an +-error on open ended ranges, but it does not work as expected either. +- +-Entering date:expr without ".." (for example date:yesterday) won't +-work, as it's not interpreted as a range expression at all. You can +-achieve the expected result by duplicating the expr both sides of ".." +-(for example date:yesterday..yesterday). +-.RE +- +-.RS 4 +-.TP 4 +-.B Relative date and time +-[N|number] (years|months|weeks|days|hours|hrs|minutes|mins|seconds|secs) [...] +- +-All refer to past, can be repeated and will be accumulated. +- +-Units can be abbreviated to any length, with the otherwise ambiguous +-single m being m for minutes and M for months. +- +-Number can also be written out one, two, ..., ten, dozen, +-hundred.
