I wonder if I shouldn't stick a "deprecated" warning on it. Please don't! I use it all the time: I use it to archive mail that I don't want on an imap server any more, but in a local maildir. Can't do that with notmuch. I use it to prune mail that has the deleted tag. Again not something that notmuch supports. So please don't stop supporting your very important (to me) tool! /D
