Anyone really uses this setup? Yes, kind of. I've extended afew to use inotify to monitor file renames and to add and tag new mails. It works quite nicely and is very fast. But it is a bit rough and does not work with an unpatched version of notmuch. Make sure you just register for IN_MOVED_TO events and you might miss mails if a second mail arrives while notmuch new is still running. Justus
