+Quoth Damien Cassou on Sep 29 at 10:57 am:\r
+> Hi,\r
+> \r
+> I can't make notmuch search return the list of mails in [Gmail]\r
+> folders for a particular mailbox:\r
+> \r
+> ~ $ notmuch search folder:"[Gmail].All Mail"\r
+> ~ $ notmuch search folder:[Gmail].Important\r
+\r
+You need to properly escape these, both for the shell and for Xapian.\r
+Try,\r
+\r
+$ notmuch search 'folder:"[Gmail].All Mail"'\r
+$ notmuch search 'folder:"[Gmail].Important"'\r
+\r
+The single quotes are necessary to get the inner quoting through to\r
+Xapian (lest the shell strip them away before notmuch even gets a hold\r
+of its arguments) and the double quotes are necessary because folder\r
+is a "probabilistic prefix", and one of many consequences of that is\r
+that "folder:" won't be parsed as a prefix if it's followed by an\r
+unusual character like '['.\r
