+Well, the labels need to be synched with the notmuch database so the\r
+choice is between "extend notmuch + use offline imap" or "extend notmuch\r
+in a different way".  It's true that re-inventing (a specialized version\r
+of) offline imap seems less than ideal.\r
+\r
+In the wild speculation department, since the feature is still in\r
+development on the the offlineimap side, maybe offlineimap can be\r
+convinced to work with a kind of sidecar file containing tag\r
+information.  I think people have speculated about serializing the\r
+notmuch database in (something like) that way before.\r
