If some of you have already made such a move, or are just happy users of mu4e, I'd appreciate your input on the following issues. * Can OfflineImap or whatever imap sync tool used exclude some folders in the main Maildir folder from being synced to the IMAP server ? I'd like to be able to archive some old mail without it being sent to Gmail. * I'm using gmane to read a lot of mailing lists. I guess there's no way to do that with mu4e and I'm considering sticking with Gnus for that use. Does that seem like a reasonable solution ? * Can mu4e use the Gmail labels for search queries ? * If a message is tagged with several labels on Gmail, does it appear in several folders in the local repository ? On a related note, if one were to move a message from a folder in a repository synced with Gmail to another folder not synced (for archiving purposes), I guess the message would remain at least in the [Gmail]/All Mail folder. Is there an easy way to remove it altogether from Gmail ? * Finally, the mailing list for mu4e doesn't seem very active (especially when you compare it to the one for gnus). Are there any other channels to get some help ? Thanks for your input. Julien.
