I don't understand the problem. Why not just letting all "inbox" mails in a=
 regular Maildir,=20
and use git only when they have been explicit archived? This way, mails are=
 added to git only if we want
to save them, and we rarely (never?) need to remove mail from the git store=
. Deleting mail
is also much easier to do from the maildir. This mail flow would make much =
more sense to me.

Thanks,
