I'll describe my own setup for using notmuch with gmail. I don= +9;t pretend
+it will work for everyone, but you might find some bits of it useful.
+
+I don't even try to sync notmuch tags and gmail labels (because I rarel= +y
+use the labels or the web interface anyway), but I do get sync for
+"unread" and "flagged" (gmail and Android "starred= +"). You'll need
+maildir.synchronize_flags =3D true in your ~/.notmuch-config for this.

I use offlineimap. I run it from the notmuch pre-new hook. This means= + I
+have to run "notmuch new" to receive new mail.
+
+$ cat ~/.maildir/.notmuch/hooks/pre-new
+#!/bin/sh
+exec /usr/bin/offlineimap
+
+I only sync "All Mail" from gmail. Perhaps there would be some +optimizations that could be done, but I haven't bothered yet.
+
+$ cat ~/.offlineimaprc
+[general]
+accounts =3D Gmail
+ui =3D Noninteractive.Basic
+
+[Account Gmail]
+localrepository =3D Local
+remoterepository =3D Remote
+
+[Repository Local]
+type =3D Maildir
+localfolders =3D ~/.maildir

+

Personally I use msmtp (msmtp and msmtp-mta packages in Debian based<= +br> +distros). The msmtp-mta sets up a sendmail-like binary that works out of +the box in Emacs. Beware that it doesn't have a local queue, it works +synchronously.
+
+$ cat ~/.msmtprc
+defaults
+logfile ~/.msmtp.log
+tls_trust_file /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
+
+account default
+host smtp.gmail.com= +
+from USER@gmail.com
+tls on
+tls_starttls off
+auth on
+user USER@gmail.com
+
+Finally, I use goobook to use the gmail contacts as addressbook in
+Emacs. See http://mid.gmane.org/87zkfuh3i0.fsf@nikula.org for that. +
+
+HTH,
+Jani.
