My problem is not about reconstructing the thread. I'm unable to search even for old messages. Or, to be precise, it seems that when I <F8> and type my query, mutt switches to notmuch results and then *immediately* switches to one of my mailboxes with new messages. > > Then I've tried to do the same with offlineimap, verifying that the mail > in new has the trailing ":2", or similar.

But, after a "notmuch new", it is able to do so. It seems to me that notmuch new works just fine.
