But there was some objections and it was questioned why offlineimap for this, and not notmuch - and frankly, I don't hava any preferences. If it is i[plemented in offlineimap and notmuch uses it, fine with me. If offlineimap stays as it is and notmuch reads the labels directly, absolutely no problem. I am merely intersted in the outcome - sync of notmuch tags with gmail labels - whatever the path is. > > Well - it is ust my feeling that the lesser changes are done to the > > email and its headers, the better. > > Sure, but I don't think it's such a big issue, as it may be presented. > If there was some better, not much more difficult, option, than sure, > but otherwise, I think it's a good solution. > > > -- > Best regards, _ _ > .o. | Liege of Serenely Enlightened Majesty of o' \,=./ `o > ..o | Computer Science, Michał “mina86” Nazarewicz (o o) > ooo +----<email/xmpp: mpn@google.com>--------------ooO--(_)--Ooo-- > > > -- Rainer M.
