Hi,
this sounds interesting, but I'd like to know:
what is the difference with, for example mh-search, or mairix?

The idea is that maybe org-mode users would like to be able

email messages for todo items, etc. and that perhaps
integrating with notmuch would make sense.
well in Org-mode is it already possible to have links
to "mails" e.g.:
mailto:ad...@galaxy.net Mail link
vm:folder VM folder link
vm:folder#id VM message link
vm://mys...@some.where.org/folder#id VM on remote machine
wl:folder WANDERLUST folder link
wl:folder#id WANDERLUST message link
mhe:folder MH-E folder link
mhe:folder#id MH-E message link
rmail:folder RMAIL folder link
rmail:folder#id RMAIL message link
gnus:group Gnus group link
gnus:group#id Gnus article link
(Manual: 4.3 External links)
Notmuch goes beyond what the links above can do. Having your mail
indexed with notmuch is kind of like having your own local copy of
gmail with its powerful search options.
If integrated properly with org-mode, we could refer to one particular
message using its message-id (regardless of the folder/directory it is
in), we could refer to whole threads. And when new messages in the
thread arrive, notmuch updates the thread automatically and you will
see everything when you activate the link.
Another interesting possibility would be adding support for notmuch
search strings to org-mode, so that you could do something like:
"notmuch:foo bar" and when you activate the link, a list of messages
that contain the text would show up in a notmuch buffer.
And so on. Notmuch is currently in very early stage, but I think it
has the potential to become a perfect complement for org-mode.
With support for full-text search in local email archives, org-mode
will be even harder to beat than it is now ;).
By the way, does notmuch depend on Xapian?
Yes.
