I sometimes notice that Emacs freezes up when I press a key like d to delete (adding the tag:trashing) for a couple of seconds. It's hard to track down, but I believe that I run into a conflict with a cron job updating the notmuch database, and Emacs waits for the notmuch tag change command to finish, which waits for the cron job to finish.
Does that sound likely? How do y'all debug and improve this?
@stebalien That could be it. I could change the cron job to fetch new mail from the IMAP server and then launch notmuch, instead of having notmuch do it in the pre-process hook, which takes much longer.
#Terminal#MUA question: Playing a bit around with #neomutt + #notmuch? Does someone know if there is a way to display and directly edit displayed notmuch tags from neomutt? And a way to display notmuch tags in the pager?
@svw Would a "notmuch disconnect $QUERY" command be enough for your use case? The idea would be to tell notmuch not to drop the file(s) from the database, even though they seem to be missing. Some commands would probably return placeholders in place of actual data until you externally restored the data on disk.
