Sure, all these points are true. Notmuch is a bit unfinished I think. What email setup do you have?

I'm actually using notmuch in emacs myself, but I'm just running in to a bunch of its limitations and looking around for an alternative.

Very sorry to hear that Gnus with a notmuch backend is slow, as that's what I was considering trying next.

Maybe give Gnus a try anyway. It might not be that slow on good hardware. Or just run it coupled with a Dovecot server.

I really like Notmuch's interface. I think limitations are perhaps not that hard to patch on Elisp unless you have a complicated setup.

I'm trying to implement a DSL to coordinate tag <-> maildir sync on top of a few macros.
