No, I sync with mbsync which dosnloads a bunch of mails, then I run notmuch new which indexes all in

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 bunch of patches). Naturally, I'd now do a native 64-bit

Today we noticed that keywords can't be searched as prefixed terms. Or that's what it looks like anyway.

I just remembered (and olly confirmed) that there is some work in

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 system time

Unfortunately I can't share my emails without the approval of other parties. The minimum subsets that trigger 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

I'm curious that you refer to xxx_yyy as a sentence. In the contexts I am familiar with, the point of _ is to join things together into one word (or one

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 firstunused=75 revision=82 levels=1 root=2 B-tree checked okay docdata table structure checked
