I noticed it when the compilation failed. Bug? What OS and distribution are you using? notmuch-devel sounds like something a linux distribution might do, rather than anything that's part of notmuch itself. On arch linux, for example, there's just a notmuch package that includes notmuch. Obviously there's no way to compile muchsync without notmuch installed. But if you elaborate on what it is you saw and what you would like to see I might be able to address it in the next release. > Besides that, I had a question.

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
