If there is a file called \fI.noupdate\fR in a directory, the contents of that
directory and all of its subdirectories will be ignored, unless we do a full
rebuild (with \fB--rebuild\fR). This can be useful to speed up things you have

some maildirs that never change. Note that you can still search for these
messages, this only affects updating the database.

\fB\-\-rebuild\fR
clear all messages from the database before indexing. \fB\-\-rebuild\fR
guarantees that after the indexing has finished, there are no 'old' messages
in the database anymore, which is not true with \fB\-\-reindex\fR when
indexing only a part of messages (using \fB\-\-maildir\fR). For this reason,
it is necessary to run \fBmu index \-\-rebuild\fR when there is an upgrade in
the database format. \fBmu index\fR will issue a warning about this.
.B NOTE:
It is not recommended to mix maildirs and sub-maildirs within the hierarchy
in the same database; for example, it's better not to index both with
\fB\-\-maildir\fR=~/MyMaildir and \fB\-\-maildir\fR=~/MyMaildir/foo, as this
may lead to unexpected results when searching with the 'maildir:' search
parameter (see below).
