Sorry - should have been "patched offlineimap" ( https://github.com= +/aroig/offlineimap
+http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.mail.imap.of= +flineimap.general/5943/focus=3D5970 and

+
+It is synching the gmail labels into the x-keywords header as a comma separ= +ated list. These could

I see.

I use the All Mai= +l folder and get the tags using the X-GM-LABELS imap extension. I don't= + muck with the mail headers in the process, fortunately.

I actually prefer this approach, but I think it would be more usef= +ul to leave the syncing of the emails to a different program, and then just= + managing the labels / tags with your tool (which is notmuch territory). So= + the workflow would be:
+
Initial or download (only remote changes):

1) Download email (&q= +uot;All Mail" folder) with whatever you are using (offlinemail, ...)2) call your script to index the downloaded emails (All Mail" folder= +) with notmuch and get the labels and set / remove them in notmuch accordin= +gly.
+
Upload (only local changes):

1) upload emails using whatever (of= +flineimap, ...)
2) upload the changed tags and create the needed new lab= +els (and possibly delete empty ons?)

The tricky part will be the syn= +ching when changes on both sides were observed.
+The mail sync is implemented in e.g. offlineimap and works reilably. But I = +don't know how one could handle tag / label changes on both sides.
