I did already run this combination for quite a while with general
satisfaction.
Problems in emacs (i.e. the json format) with displaying certain mime
messages are solved by using gmime 2.4.24 (thx dkg for the debugging
support). Problems were: notmuch show consuming 100% CPU without a result
and "EOF while reading message".
An open issue (also with gmime 2.4.24) is the extraction of a PDF from
an encrypted message via emacs (discussed on irc before, mentioned here
for completeness of the archive).

An option for these systems:
- Linux (particularly on x86, x86_64, and PowerPC).
- Mac OS X, both on Intel and PowerPC.
- FreeBSD (only tested on Intel).
- Windows through Cygwin.
is using nix to install emacs and notmuch from nixpkgs. It does not
interfere with other software installed on the system but installs into
/nix and creates links of installed software into a profile which can be
included in the PATH.
Current release candidate and gmime 2.4.24 are packaged in nixpkgs.
Installation instructions at [1]. For simplicity I recommend the single
user install.
In case of question, I and #nixos are happy to help.
Nix/Nixpkgs is not an alternative to debian, but helps in having some
newer things independent of the system. However, there is no security
team yet ensuring timely updates.
