I saw the LWN article and decided to take a look at notmuch. I'm
currently using mutt and mairix to index and read a collection of
Maildir mail folders (around 40,000 messages total).
notmuch indexed the messages without complaint, but my attempt at
searching bombed out. Running, for example:
notmuch search storage
Resulted in 4604 lines of errors along the lines of:
Error opening
/home/lars/Mail/read-messages.2008/cur/1246413773.24928_27334.hostname,U=3026:2,S:
Too many open files
I'm curious if this is expected behavior (i.e., notmuch does not work
with Maildir) or if something else is going on.
Cheers,

Welcome, Lars!
I hadn't even seen that Keith's blog post had been picked up by lwn.net.
That's very interesting. So, thanks for coming and trying out notmuch.

Sadly, the lwn article coincided with me having just introduced this
bug, and then getting on a Trans-Atlantic flight. So I fixed the bug
fairly quickly, but there was quite a bit of latency before I could push
the fix out. It should be fixed now.

Notmuch works just fine with maildir---it's one of the things that it
likes the best.
Happy hacking,
