\r
84 I don't think there is an easy solution. notmuch uses a maildir and tags. Gmail needs to be synced
\r
85 to this local maildir earlier, and this is where I think the problem comes in: I am not aware of
\r
86 any sync tool which maintains the gmail labels, as they are in in the imap context folders.
\r
88 I think the only real solution woud be:
\r
90 Download from gmail -> local:
\r
91 1) download only the "All Mail" folder
\r
92 2) implement a tagging tool which syncs the gmail labels to notmuch tags
\r
94 upload local -> gmail
\r
95 1) upload "All Mail folder
\r
96 2) assign on gmail the labels corresponding to the notmuch tags.
\r
98 The step 1 could be done by any sync tool available for this (offlineimap, ...)
\r
100 step 2 needs to be developed - no idea how, but it surely would be really usefull, because then
\r
101 notmuch would even become a perfect tool for gmail backup as well.
