In the Notmuch mailing list, David Bremner said: I _think_ it should be OK. Notmuch 1) Tracks file renames 2) Attaches tags to message-ids, not to files. As a precaution, it is always worthwhile to have a "notmuch dump" and or full backup before attempting anything drastic. My last doubt is: how can I safely avoid OfflineIMAP redownloading my 4GB of emails? The solution needs to be require relatively little manual work, because if it takes hours of labor then I would rather accept the inefficient redownload. Note that renaming lots of folders according to a simple rule is not a problem, because I use Emacs Dired. And would everything still work if I choose '/' as sep?
