Email Database
==============
.. module:: alot.db
The python bindings to libnotmuch define :class:`notmuch.Thread` and
:class:`notmuch.Message`, which unfortunately are very fragile.
Alot defines the wrapper classes :class:`Thread` and :class:`~alot.message.Message` that
use an :class:`DBManager` instance to transparently provide persistent objects.
:class:`~alot.message.Message` moreover contains convenience methods
to extract information about the message like reformated header values, a summary,
decoded and interpreted body text and a list of :class:`Attachments <alot.message.Attachment>`.
The central :class:`~alot.ui.UI` instance carries around a :class:`DBManager` object that
is used for any lookups or modifications of the email base. :class:`DBManager` can
directly look up :class:`Thread` and :class:`~alot.message.Message` objects and is able to
postpone/cache/retry writing operations in case the Xapian index is locked by another
process.
