Slow performance using `mailsync` shortcut about mutt-wizard HOT 2 OPEN

Mailsync also runs notmuch after mail is downloaded which indexes new mail to make it quickly searchable. That is probably what is lagging.

I'm going to guess that the difference in time between your two machines is probably that the one where it is instantaneous has a SSD and the one that takes a moment is a spinning disk hard drive (or perhaps a machine with less powerful memory or CPU).

Hey Luke, regarding the hard disks, both machines are running NVME drives. But your tip about notmuch led me to a new discovery and a new question.

As a desktop test (the slow one) I ran the following commands separately on the terminal:

$mbsync -a
C: 1/1  B: 12/12  F: +0/0 *0/0 #0/0  N: +2/2 *0/0 #0/0
$notmuch new 
Processed 2 total files in almost no time.
Added 2 new messages to the database.

But compare this to the following:

$mw -Y
C: 1/1  B: 12/12  F: +0/0 *0/0 #0/0  N: +0/0 *0/0 #0/0

The expected output of notmuch doesn't echo its usual statement to the command line, and that's the exact point where it's hanging. I should also note running those commands separately here on the desktop executed and completed almost immediately.

Is there some reason why mw -Y wouldn't auto run notmuch new and echo it's output?

For comparison I ran o from neomutt on my laptop a few minutes ago, and it always echoes the notmuch report of "processed X files in X time".
