How do I search in this particular one? Quoting notmuch-search-terms(7) The exact syntax for maildir folders depends on your mail configura‐ tion. For maildir++, folder:"" matches the inbox folder (which is the root in maildir++), other folder names always start with ".", and nested folders are separated by "."s, such as folder:.classes.topol‐ ogy. For "file system" maildir, the inbox is typically folder:INBOX and nested folders are separated by slashes, such as folder:classes/topology. > The question is related to usage of 'afew' to move all mails which > have 'deleted' tag into Trash folder (which I have under .Trash) Hopefully the above is enough to help you formulate the right query. You probably also want the options --format=text0 and --output=files for notmuch search. d ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

The next paragraph of that man page has an important warning for anyone planning on re-arranging files based on the results of notmuch: Both path: and folder: will find a message if any copy of that message is in the specific directory/folder. It's important to filter the names (e.g., `notmuch ...|grep -Fzv /.|xargs -Ifoo mv foo $MAILDIR/.Trash/cur/`) before relying on them. -Brian ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

The 'default' afew example config is similar to this: [MailMover] folders = INBOX .Trash INBOX = 'tag:deleted':.Trash .Trash = 'NOT tag:deleted':INBOX if i'm however not able to specify folder as empty, this would not work, right? (i know, this is rather question for Justus, author of afew, hence putting in copy) .d.
