Uhm, you don't have to tell one notmuch instance about the other?

Just run notmuch once against one "server" (using one configuration),
and then run it against the other "server" (using a second
configuration).

The two notmuch indexes won't know about eachother, of course, but
nothing stops you from doing this - just use the --config=FILE command
line option.

That makes sense - I was trying to ask you about when you search for
something, do you want to search only within a single "server"?

If so, having a notmuch index for each "server" will not be a problem.
If you want to search across "servers", you'll need something like what
