Not sure. If it worked this would be really nice. But as most IMAP
server support arbitrary flags to be added to a message, I would still
think the best is to code a tool that talks IMAP and synchronizes
notmuch tags with the IMAP server. I've never done it before and
python's IMAP support is pretty crappy or I would alredy have given it a
go :).

Yes, it would cover a lot of my needs too. Altough I am still aiming at
propagating my notmuch flags via the IMAP server and back :).

Pruning used to be done nicely with notmuchsync, but you have given a
nice example how that could be done with notmuch now.

The one thing I can see now that notmuchsync still does is moving
maessages to a folder when they match a tag. But that would be an
equally short shell script that notmuch can do now. So, while I might
still fix bugs, I do not think that notmuchsync will evolve a lot
further (until I make it speak IMAP which I don't see coming in the near
future)
