Wrong numbers

Wrong numbers

[Martin Kjær Jørgensen]

Hey list,

I'm a newbie recently migrated to notmuch 0.38.3 with Emacs 29.4 and I have
noticed an inconsistency in its way of counting. When deleting the xapian
cache directory and start from 'new', I get the following output:

~ $ notmuch new
Found 107181 total files (that's not much mail).
Processed 107181 total files in 2m 44s (653 files/sec.).
Added 106845 new messages to the database.

Notice 'new messages' doesn't match total files.

When opening notmuch-hello in Eamcs I get this headline:


       3 185 inbox-latest         0 unread           1 373 sent                 4 drafts              12 flagged            395 junk

Notice junk amount, for instance. When opening 'junk' and couting the lines
       ---
       Fri. 13:14  [1/1]    SnoreStop             End the Nighttime Symphony: Snore Reduction Made Easy!        (junk)

       ---

       Page has 381 lines (379 + 2)

When opening 'sent' which should show 1373 it only shows 824.

Am I missing something obvious here?

Yes, that's expected. Notmuch groups files with the same message-id into
a single "message" in the database.

This is a bit harder to debug remotely, but one issue is that a line
corresponds to a thread, not a message. Some threads may have multiple
messages. If you want one line per message, use unthreaded view (U)\r

Ah, did not know about that feature. Numbers now match :-)
