bower (git) to show Inbox (folder)

[Marius]

Hi!

Today I ditched mutt(-kz) in favour of a notmuch/isync setup. I
compiled bower, because it's able to use a remote notmuch instance.
My issue is a follows: I start bower, and I see an unsorted selection
of mails (300 newest).
How can I navigate by folders/tags?

- A search like folder:Inbox shows 0 mails. Also I disable the limit
of 300 mails... with no effect on the search. Could someone enlighten
me on the usability here a little?

Best,
Marius

Hi,

folder:Inbox would search for messages in a sub-directory 'Inbox' under
your Maildir directory.  You could search for 'tag:inbox' if new
messages are tagged as such by the new.tags configuration option.
However, bower doesn't have a quick way to remove the 'inbox' tag,
though it could be added easily enough.

I normally leave bower open on the last few days' mail, and only change
the search query if I'm looking for something in particular.  I use
folders and tags sparingly.
