Thanks for your prompt reply. > that's of course irrelevent for you now that you are flattening.
Yes, it is irrelevant now. Flattening is working great, which is fantastic. > I still would like 'trash' instead of '[Gmail].Trash'. I would like that as well. But I understand that this might not be a top priority. Right now, I'm achieving this by using symlinks, mainly because dealing with spaces in the mailbox name gets ugly under mutt. > >> 3.

I think I found some of the relevant bits of the discussion in the list: http://www.mail-archive.com/isync-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00151.html: "however, it has some known rough edges. mbsync does not expire messages which it thinks you have not seen, yet. unfortunately, it does not consider read messages seen. :}" I still don't get the whole picture, though. I'd be very grateful if you could point out how to keep the most recent subset of my whole Gmail account locally. Here's my full .mbsyncrc. I call mbsync using "mbsync -a": MaildirStore local Path .maildb/ Inbox .maildb/INBOX Flatten . IMAPStore gmail Host imap.gmail.com User <edited>@gmail.com Pass <edited> UseIMAPS yes CertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt Channel gmail-local Master :gmail: Slave :local: Patterns INBOX "[Gmail]/All Mail" "[Gmail]/Drafts" "[Gmail]/Trash" MaxMessages 1000 Create Slave Thanks, A. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Minimize network downtime and maximize team effectiveness.
