Hi Bartosz,

Great to see one more person interested in notmuch-vim! Hopefully this will make review a little bit easier.

Personally I don't see the benefit. It's a useless call to notmuch for every cursor-move. Especially with the current inefficient implementation.
Pressing '=' will refresh the folder view manually. If you want to get notified about new mail it's better to call e.g. notify-send after notmuch new.
Automatic refresh after you finished reading your new mails and come back to folders IMHO makes sense.

But probably Ian has a different oppinion.
