Hi notmuch developers, I also had this database corruption, I waited for the fix to land in notmuch 0.26.2, build it, moved the xapian directory away, did a notmuch new and restored the tags from a dump. But the problem remains: ~$ xapian-check ~/Mail/.notmuch/xapian docdata: blocksize=8K items=10841 first...

Hi! Suppose you have a huge notmuch/Xapian database, built on a 32-bit system (well, actually on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, but using a years old 32-bit notmuch binary; notmuch 0.9, Xapian 1.2.21 -- don't laugh), and suppose you're finally going to update that years old notmuch installation (release by release, forward-porting a bu...

Should I > just remove the xapian folder and rerun `notmuch new` ? If you have a backup of your tags from notmuch-dump, then yes that's probably a good way forward. I've put the xapian developers in copy in case they are interested in trying to debug this corruption. For those just joining us, this is notmuch 0.29.3 linked against xapian 1.4.15...

I hadn't noticed any interactive slowdown, but when I got around to running the notmuch performance suite, there seems to be some noticable slowdown with the glass backend (default in Xapian 1.3.5) compared to chert (using xapian 1.2.22) These tests are on an older i7 with 12G of RAM and an SSD. I'm reasonable confident they are CPU bound. One curious thing is the increase in sys...

...the error are in the range of 1000-5000 mails, so asking each and everyone of them is out of my reach. I tried to replicate the problem using just spam folders without success. The following is a solid workaround I've stumbled upon. Afew no longer complains and database corruption is gone. $ notmuch compact $ xapian-check ~/.mail/.notmuch/xapian    <check messages>    No errors found I built xapian-core 1.50 but I can't compile notmuch 0.26.1 against it. I will wait and test again in a few weeks. If you are interested in my setup, the error happens with this minimal configuration....

Hi all, notmuch[1] becomes more and more popular. At least in geek community. But notmuch is local-only (except ssh)... It looks like it's hard (if even possible) to use IMAP as transport for notmuch-alike work flow. I think it would be great to create a new protocol based global search and message tagging....

Hi, I'm having some trouble writing an FTS plugin that uses notmuch (http://notmuchmail.org/) as the backend. As a proof of concept, I'm adding a hardcoded UID to the search results in the plugin's lookup handler: seq_range_array_add(&result->definite_uids, 1, 42); but this UID is never returned by IMAP SEARCH commands. I know the plugin is bein...
