An inconvenience with the setup is that I have various filters in gmail that filter, e.g., mailing list mails by skipping the gmail inbox and applying specific tags. As a result when I look at my gmail inbox, I don't see these (many) mailing list messages. With offlineimap+notmuch, however, since it just gets all the messages from [Gmail]/All Mail, it has no way of distinguishing between these two classes of messages, and so the notmuch new and unread message lists contain many messages that I don't want to look at. Ideally, I'd like a view in notmuch that shows the same messages as the gmail inbox.
