Right. A tool that did synchronize notmuch tags by talking to an IMAP
server would be something of interest to many people. But, from all the
rumors I've heard, writing code to implement IMAP isn't much fun.

So we'll have to wait for someone brave, I guess.

In the meantime, I'll be happy enough to synchronize my mail with rsync,
so I may very well implement the support for custom mapping of
maildir-style filename flags to notmuch tags.
