You could run offlineimap followed by muchsync, but you +run the risk that mail will be delivered in the meantime. You could +also run offlineimap to fetch your mail in the first place, and then +muchsync to sync it between your devices. + +Can I ask why you would want to do this, anyway? Muchsync should be +faster than notmuch, particularly if you have a lot of mail directories +and/or are going to pay the cost of tag synchronization anyway. + +David
