Do you mind sharing how to use notmuch from mutt? Does mutt support virtual folders like neomutt?

  Mutt does not support virtual folders, so there is nothing fancy really about how I use Notmuch as I only use it for search (not tagging). I have a macro to call `mutt-notmuch.py` (there is a Perl version as well) to: search, create a temporary read-only maildir based on the current TTY, and lastly populate in with symlinks to the search results – Mutt then switches into that maildir. I would love to use Notmuch more, but syncing between devices becomes a pain when everything is no longer a file. There is muchsync [1], but I really do not want to go down the rabbit hole of resolving potential conflicts, etc. [1]: http://www.muchsync.org/ http://www.muchsync.org/

    Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm subscribed to several mailing lists/forums and sometimes get a 3-figure number of emails per day. Since I can't (nor want to) read all of them, I score them based on the subject field (~s). Unfortunately, the scoring algorithm can't take the body into account (~b). That's why I considered notmuch for creating (virtual) mailboxes with context I'm interested in...
