Tag sent messages as sent

Tag sent messages as sent

Hello,

I'm trying notmuch via the emacs interface for the first time today.

I've noticed that messages that I've sent are tagged with "inbox", rather
than "sent" as I'd expect.

I've configured the notmuch-fcc-dirs as follows in my init.el.

(setq notmuch-fcc-dirs "Sent")

Should notmuch emacs client mark sent messages with a sent tag? If not how
can I do so and stop them appearing in my inbox search?

Cheers,
Laurence.

Check out afew, it helps handle that kind of thing.

But personally I just use the post-new hook and use something like this
after my initial tagging:

notmuch tag +sent -inbox -unread -- '(' from:email@test.com ... a long list of all the emails I
send from ')' and not tag:sent and not '(' to:me@example.com ... a list of emails I sometimes
send myself things to ')'

Not that it helps you, but the easiest way to implement this would be to
replace our fcc implementation in emacs/notmuch-maildir-fcc.el to use
notmuch insert, as also suggested by Daniel in [1]. This would also
enable fcc in remote notmuch setups.

BR,
Jani.
