+===========
+notmuch-new
+===========
+
+SYNOPSIS
+========
+
+**notmuch** **new** [--no-hooks]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+
+Find and import any new messages to the database.
+
+The **new** command scans all sub-directories of the database,
+performing full-text indexing on new messages that are found. Each new
+message will automatically be tagged with both the **inbox** and
+**unread** tags.
+
+You should run **notmuch new** once after first running **notmuch
+setup** to create the initial database. The first run may take a long
+time if you have a significant amount of mail (several hundred thousand
+messages or more). Subsequently, you should run **notmuch new** whenever
+new mail is delivered and you wish to incorporate it into the database.
+These subsequent runs will be much quicker than the initial run.
+
+Invoking ``notmuch`` with no command argument will run **new** if
+**notmuch setup** has previously been completed, but **notmuch new** has
+not previously been run.
+
+**notmuch new** updates tags according to maildir flag changes if the
+**maildir.synchronize\_flags** configuration option is enabled. See
+**notmuch-config(1)** for details.
+
+The **new** command supports hooks. See **notmuch-hooks(5)** for more
+details on hooks.
+
+Supported options for **new** include
+
+ ``--no-hooks``
+ Prevents hooks from being run.
+
+ ``--quiet``
+ Do not print progress or results.
