For me, my IMAP needs are pretty much limited to my iPhone. I'm making do for now, but to make notmuch viable in the long term, what I'd need is: * notmuch shouldn't choke on mails I had in notmuch's database, and then marked read or deleted on my iPhone (which renames them in the maildir). This is coming with the moving/deleting patches. * notmuch should sync back read/unread state to maildir * notmuch should move read stuff out of my inbox. It would be acceptable if it moved everything into a designated archive folder unless it had the 'inbox' tag assigned, in which case it moved it there. Note that we have the moving/deleting patches, then this could even be done as a script and some searches. With this, my inbox would be usable from my iPhone. -- - Marten
