Hello,
I'm using notmuch and mutt with virtual-mailboxes. Besides it is awesome
and very flexible, sometimes when opening some folders it takes too long
with mutt showing progress with "Reading messages..." in the bottom. It
takes few minutes for folder with 12k emails.
I'm downloading new email every 10 minutes and have this in the cron:
@daily /usr/bin/notmuch new
@weekly /usr/bin/notmuch compact
*/10 * * * * /usr/bin/fetchmail >/dev/null
Usually opening these folders is very quick, but every once a few days
it takes quite long. Looks like some cache is being rebuild or
something.
Please, do you have any idea on what might be causing this? I would like
to pre-cache it via cron or something.
Thank you for any ideas. I know this is quite a lax question, but will
provide any logs or so.
Regards,
Jan

It would be useful to know if your notmuch new cronjob was running at
this time; notmuch itself doesn't really do any background processing.
The other useful thing from the notmuch point of view is if you could
duplicate the slowness with the same search on the command line; that
would eliminate mutt code as the problem.

Hello and thank you for the hints.
Finally it happened again. Looks like `notmuch new` was running around
midnight, then suspend&resume and few retchmail&procmails.
Anyway, on command line:
$ time notmuch search tag:archive >/tmp/aaa
real 0m4.840s
user 0m1.709s
sys 0m0.301s
and with this muttrc config:
virtual-mailboxes \
[...]
'ARCHIVE' 'notmuch://?query=tag:archive' \
[...]
when opening that "folder", it took about a minute. Looks like this is
problem with mutt then and I'll focus there.
Thank you,
Jan
