+I am trying to move from mairix to some better solution. mairix has been\r
+working really well for me, but it had some limitations.\r
+\r
+I decided to give a try to notmuch, but I has been suprised with\r
+estimated indexing time:\r
+\r
+     Processed 4157 of 822462 files (10h 3m 42s remaining).\r
+\r
+At the beggining when there was 11 hours estimate I simply thought that\r
+those numbers are wrong. But they are not. This is really going to take\r
+that long. I could not believe that you all wait that long to index your\r
+maildirs:)\r
+\r
+Also if I understand correctly the concept, whenever I want to\r
+regenerate database, I have to move old away and create new one,\r
+correct? mairix worked that way that you run it and it updated its own\r
+database. Is it possible with notmuch as well? I simply do not want to\r
+wait 10+ hours for every database regeneration, thought I am willing to\r
+wait that long for initial indexing.\r
+\r
+My last question is related to notmuch and Alpine. Alpine is\r
+a IMAP/Maildir e-mail client based on old PINE. I get used to that so\r
+much that I cannot move away (to Mutt, for example). Is there anyone who\r
+uses notmuch with Alpine and created some scripts and/or key-bindings?\r
+\r
+Of course I am not using nano for editing. I use ViM for e-mail creation\r
+and answering. So maybe notmuch-vim is probably better option, I do not\r
+know.\r
+\r
+Thank you for any possible valuable answers and please Cc me in the\r
+answer as I am not in the list.\r
+\r
+Thank you\r
