Thank you for your help.
I did not read the documentation carefully enough:
man notmuch
-----------------------------------8<---------------------------------
Mail storage that uses mbox format, (where one mbox file contains many
messages), will not work with notmuch.
-----------------------------------8<---------------------------------
Now, I'm trying to migrate from mbox to maildir before reinstalling
notmuch-mutt.
