Because I have never used python, and you know what your script is doing. I prefer to know what
the script is doing, before I try it out and it changes up my local emails and my notmuch
databases in unexpected ways, because I did not understand the source code properly?

Here is my question - see below.

Perfect.
Now my final question: after reading your info which is useful, I looked in more detail at the
source code and it made now sense to me. My question is:
If I only want to aply the tags and *not download* emails, can I simply remove the line 88:
download_new_messages(imap, database, new_messages, destination)
Is this correct? In this case, the script would ony tag y messages which are already downloaded?
If this is the case, I would immediately start using the script.
