SYNOPSIS
========

**notmuch** **insert** [option ...] [+<*tag*>|-<*tag*> ...]

DESCRIPTION
===========

**notmuch insert** reads a message from standard input and delivers it
into the maildir directory given by configuration option
**database.path**, then incorporates the message into the notmuch
database. It is an alternative to using a separate tool to deliver the
message then running **notmuch new** afterwards.

The new message will be tagged with the tags specified by the
**new.tags** configuration option, then by operations specified on the
command-line: tags prefixed by '+' are added while those prefixed by '-'
are removed.

If the new message is a duplicate of an existing message in the database
(it has same Message-ID), it will be added to the maildir folder and
notmuch database, but the tags will not be changed.

The **insert** command supports hooks. See **notmuch-hooks(5)** for
more details on hooks.

Option arguments must appear before any tag operation arguments.
Supported options for **insert** include

``--folder=<``\ folder\ **>**
    Deliver the message to the specified folder, relative to the
    top-level directory given by the value of **database.path**. The
    default is the empty string, which means delivering to the
    top-level directory.

``--create-folder``
    Try to create the folder named by the ``--folder`` option, if it
    does not exist. Otherwise the folder must already exist for mail
    delivery to succeed.

``--keep``
    Keep the message file if indexing fails, and keep the message
    indexed if applying tags or maildir flag synchronization
    fails. Ignore these errors and return exit status 0 to indicate
    successful mail delivery.

``--no-hooks``
    Prevent hooks from being run.

``--world-readable``
    When writing mail to the mailbox, allow it to be read by users
    other than the current user.  Note that this does not override
    umask.  By default, delivered mail is only readable by the current
    user.

``--decrypt=(true|nostash|auto|false)``
    If ``true`` and the message is encrypted, try to decrypt the
    message while indexing, stashing any session keys discovered.  If
    ``auto``, and notmuch already knows about a session key for the
    message, it will try decrypting using that session key but will
    not try to access the user's secret keys.  If decryption is
    successful, index the cleartext itself.  Either way, the message
    is always stored to disk in its original form (ciphertext).

    ``nostash`` is the same as ``true`` except that it will not stash
    newly-discovered session keys in the database.

    Be aware that the index is likely sufficient (and a stashed
    session key is certainly sufficient) to reconstruct the cleartext
    of the message itself, so please ensure that the notmuch message
    index is adequately protected. DO NOT USE ``--decrypt=true`` or
    ``--decrypt=nostash`` without considering the security of your
    index.

    See also ``index.decrypt`` in **notmuch-config(1)**.

EXIT STATUS
===========

This command returns exit status 0 on successful mail delivery,
non-zero otherwise. The default is to indicate failed mail delivery on
any errors, including message file delivery to the filesystem, message
indexing to Notmuch database, changing tags, and synchronizing tags to
maildir flags. The ``--keep`` option may be used to settle for
successful message file delivery.

This command supports the following special exit status code for
errors most likely to be temporary in nature, e.g. failure to get a
database write lock.

``75 (EX_TEMPFAIL)``
    A temporary failure occurred; the user is invited to retry.

The exit status of the **post-insert** hook does not affect the exit
status of the **insert** command.
