As far as I know (as a non-mbsync user) this is only a problem for
mbsync. Notmuch itself is fine with moving (or copying) files between
folders. You will have to run notmuch-new afterwards. If I remember
correctly mbsync encodes an IMAP UUID into the file name, but I don't
know the details. I guess that the general mbsync instructions for how
to move messages should work fine with notmuch.
