I asked for this feature because in my understanding of mail handling with notmuch it is essential for the everyday task of catching up with latest emails. I especially run notmuch via cron every minute in order to have up-to-date database and not miss emails which just arrived. With a convectional email setup, emails are filtered in one/several folders and one looks in these folders for new emails which weren't there last time. (Especially outlook) users get fooled if important emails have for one reason or another a wrong date and are therefore not sorted at the end/beginning of their emails so they are missed. Best way to not miss newly arrived email for me is to sort them chronologically according to time of arrival. Is there another solution to this email handling problem which works with notmuch (and of which I'm not aware ATM)? How do you make sure you don't miss emails while using notmuch? I appreciate your any input. Have a nice day, Gregor
