When enabling a notmuch-based acccount on a macos host, the following error occurs:

libnotmuch5 was not found in your system. Make sure it is installed and in the library paths.
notmuch is not a valid mail backend

The reason is that on macos the dynamic libraries have a naming scheme different that on Linux. Currently the code is looking for a libnotmuch.so.5 DL while it's installed as libnotmuch.5.dylib.

I'll try to modify the code in melib/src/backends.rs#L159 and melib/src/backends/notmuch.rs#L310 to make it work in both worlds.
