I've just installed notmuch and notmuch-mutt, obviously for use with mutt. Notmuch was initially setup pointing at my home Maildir directory, and setup ran fine. My testing within mutt using notmuch-mutt macros also worked OK. So far, nifty. Great work! Then (this has now been purged and reverted to Maildir only!) I tried linking into Maildir a pair of very old mh/nmh hierachies, which share many duplicated messages (but always with the same message numbers, I believe). I then let notmuch churn for several hours to index. This seemed to work. Not really though. Attempts to search with the same notmuch-mutt macro after the mh hierachies are added in are totally confused. There are many link errors during the serach ("file already exists" references mh mail message file numbers), and the resulting messages list in mutt is hopeless -- wrong messages, headers displayed don't match the actual message contents, etc. So, maildir - 1, mh - 0. As noted above, I purged and rebuilt just for Maildir -- and again that part is working fine. Any suggestions?
