Show Recent Mail

Prerequisites

1. Notmuch integration working in NeoMutt (see Setting Up Notmuch).

Show the Last 7 Days

1. Add a virtual mailbox with a date range:

virtual-mailboxes "Recent" "notmuch://?query=date:7d..now"

2. Open the mailbox.

Expected result: only messages from the last 7 days are shown.

Adjust the Range

Use Notmuch date syntax to widen or narrow the window:

Query	Period
date:1d..now	Last 24 hours
date:7d..now	Last 7 days
date:1m..now	Last month
date:3m..now	Last 3 months
date:1y..now	Last year

Combine with Tags

1. Show only recent unread messages:

virtual-mailboxes "Recent Unread" "notmuch://?query=date:7d..now and tag:unread"

Expected result: the mailbox shows unread messages from the last week.

For rolling time windows managed by NeoMutt, see Notmuch Advanced Queries and the nm_query_window_* variables.
