Another thing:<br>
It seems that throughout its run, your script locks the notmuch database. This is particularly<br>
annoying if you want to read/tag mails while waiting for a long sync-process. I think you only<br>
really want to lock the index for a short time in the end.<br>
Do you write to the index directly after a msg is downloaded?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I tried to solve this by closing and opening the database each time, but it actually reduced the performance considerably -- even slower than the gmail download.</div>
