On IRC the other day the topic of syncing IMAP keywords +to notmuch tags came up again, in particular the dovecot variant that +maps 26 user defined keywords to characters a-z on the end of the +maildir info. One roadblock I saw at the time was the need for +configuration of mapping of letters to tags. This patch is the result +of my realizing that at least that part is not hard (unlike the rabbit +hole we seemed to get into for e.g. log configuration). + +Some downsides of this approach are fairly obvious + + - only 26 tags. It turns out I don't have that many non-nmbug tags + that I really care about. YMMV, of course. + + - nonstandard. this won't roundtrip via offlineimap (unless + offlineimap is modified). Directly syncing the maildir or using + some dovecot specific syncer would work. + +Some upsides are: + + - Provides an IMAP bridge solution; compatible with dovecot; my + impression is this is the most common imap solution among + notmuch users. + - relatively simple implementation, just need to + update the maildir name synching routines.
