However, With my recent patch you'll also get more filenames than you want for this behavior. If you already have the mail in All Mail, Inbox, my_special_tag, and not_that_tag, do you want 4 links or copies of the message placed in the folder for Important? I had thought of this, because I am a Gmail/notmuch user (well, somewhat, I have some of the infra in place, but it's not polished, I usually end up using phone or web) I had briefly considered adding another output format "file", just to get a single file for each message in the db, but the file/files distinction feels a bit niggling. Perhaps it should be changed to "files" and "filelists" or something else more clear. It was nagging me as I implemented the fix I submitted, which looks like it has been pushed. Any comments? I don't think I have time to code any changes to this for a couple days. > > I think my short answer is that it's fairly easy to convert from Gmail > > tags to notmuch tags as part of a one-time import.

Yes, you need a label->folder as well as a folder->label part of the script. I think of it as: 1. label->folder sync 2. offlineimap (pushes label changes, pulls new mail) 3. folder->label sync There is certainly room for some conflict, if you use multiple interfaces.
