List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 06 Nov 2015 10:57:08 -0000 Hi all, I have noticed that notmuch ends up with non-existing paths to some messages. For instance: $ notmuch search --output=files 'path:/home/**' /export/home/username/mail//home/username/local/mail/archive/cur/1446805732.2711_9.hostname:2,S /export/home/username/mail/archive/cur/1446805732.2711_9.hostname:2,S [...] # more follow Note that my mail folder is /export/home/username/mail. The first path does not exist. However, I have a symlink from /home/username/local to /export/home/username. Could that be the problem? Also, is there a way to get rid of these non-existent paths in the database? They are fed to another program in a script and it chokes on them. Thanks in advance for your help. Cheers, Davide
