Description
Notmuch allows putting the Xapian database in a different location than the Maildir. This is useful, for example, if one is using a filesystem like BTRFS or ZFS that allows for snapshots: I want to snapshot my emails, not my Xapian database. For that, Notmuch has these two variables: mail_root and path. For example, my .notmuch-config includes the following:
[database]
mail_root=/home/user/mail
path=/opt/mail-db
But Mujmap only uses mail_root. With my configuration, I'm getting this error:
error: Could not sync mail: Could not open local database: Given maildir path `/home/user/mail/user@example.com' is not a subdirectory of the notmuch root `/opt/mail-db'
