You'll have to run notmuch new for notmuch to detect the +move, but it will detect it as a move. I say "mostly" because until +you run notmuch new, notmuch won't find the message file, so it won't +be able to display the message and won't be able to synchronize any +tag changes to its maildir flags. + +> 2.
