Why not just letting all "inbox" mails in a= regular Maildir,=20 and use git only when they have been explicit archived? This way, mails are= added to git only if we want to save them, and we rarely (never?) need to remove mail from the git store= . Deleting mail is also much easier to do from the maildir. This mail flow would make much = more sense to me. Thanks, Matthieu
