What +happens is, that when one presses 'G', this invokes +notmuch-hello-poll-and-update. This function calls 'notmuch-poll', +which does exactly what I want. I.e. it runs 'notmuch new' if no polling +script is specified. In my case however this invokes 'remote-notmuch +new' which asks notmuch installed at the server to tag new +emails. Lovely. (footnote: It suits me excellently because I'm not +seeking for 'mail push' service and rather read my emails whenever I +decide to do and not whenever an email arrives - this is why I consider +not calling notmuch-poll before every invocation of (notmuch) not as a +bug, but just minor annoyance which can be tweaked away if desired) + + +There is just one slightly weird thing. This is when 'notmuch' is +opened, the focus goes directly to search button instead of 'inbox' +messages (or something else), which is imho more interesting than going into search. Because +at first what one wants to do is to look into new emails. Another +disadvantage of going directly into search box is, that all shortcuts +get inhibited. Is there any way how to set default focus to something +else? + +thanks a lot + +david + + +Adam Wolfe Gordon writes: + +> Hi David, +> +> On Thu, Apr 12, 2012 at 02:25, David Belohrad wrote: +>> is somebody using incrontab to issue 'notmuch new'?
