But they are not. This is really going to take +that long. I could not believe that you all wait that long to index your +maildirs:) + +Also if I understand correctly the concept, whenever I want to +regenerate database, I have to move old away and create new one, +correct? mairix worked that way that you run it and it updated its own +database. Is it possible with notmuch as well? I simply do not want to +wait 10+ hours for every database regeneration, thought I am willing to +wait that long for initial indexing. + +My last question is related to notmuch and Alpine. Alpine is +a IMAP/Maildir e-mail client based on old PINE. I get used to that so +much that I cannot move away (to Mutt, for example). Is there anyone who +uses notmuch with Alpine and created some scripts and/or key-bindings? + +Of course I am not using nano for editing. I use ViM for e-mail creation +and answering. So maybe notmuch-vim is probably better option, I do not +know. + +Thank you for any possible valuable answers and please Cc me in the +answer as I am not in the list. + +Thank you + +Ondrej + +-- +Ondrej JOMBIK +Platon Technologies s.r.o., Hlavna 3, Sala SK-92701 ++421 903 PLATON - info@platon.org - http://platon.org + +My current location: Phoenix, Arizona +My current timezone: -0700 UTC (MST) +(updated automatically) +
