Hi,

(I'm not subscribed to your ML, so please keep me in CC when replying)

Disclaimer: I never used notmuch - so my questions might appear dumb.

So I'm developing this personal information management (PIM) suite[0]
and one aspect of PIM clearly is communication a la mail.

I wonder how notmuch tracks mails. Lets assume that we have a big
Maildir tree - mails move around all the time - how does notmuch
(re)find them? Is there a unique way to identify an email? As far as I
know isn't the message id one of them, right?
