I don't see the advantage of using melpa for notmuch. You need notmuch
binaries, and you want them to match the version of your emacs code. So
wherever you get your notmuch binaries from (whether arch, or building
from source) should also be your source of the notmuch emacs code. But
yes, if you insist on using melpa for notmuch-emacs, you should track
the git versions of the notmuch binaries (at least you should update to
current git whenever you get version mismatch messages from the emacs
client).

That's very suprising, since it should also print the version of notmuch
emacs mua if it is different from the notmuch version.
