Ah, OK.

I just want to say that having notmuch communicate with Gmail is
terrible idea, since this would mean duplicating of jobs that
offlineimap and notmuch do.

I could see some *other* tool, besides notmuch and offlineimap, which
connects to Gmail to fetch the tags, but that would again duplicate
a lot of the code from offlineimap.

I think that communicating with the server should be left to
offlineimap (or whatever other method one uses), and indexing should be
left to notmuch.
