I believe this has been discussed before, but not being sure I
understand the solution, I wan't to ask: Is there a way to keep always
the most recent N messages in the slave for a fixed N and without
accounting for their new, old or read status?

I have a large maildir at my office server with tons of unread
messages. I have a laptop with a full copy of the maildir which I keep
in synch using mbsync. Has worked great for years. Recently, I
installed debian/testing on an Asus Transformer TF300T tablet. I would
like to use mbsync and mutt to access my email, but I don't want to
download the complete maildir, but only, say, the most recent 100 messages,
irrespective of their status (new, old or read). If I delete and
expunge in the slave some few messages and sync again, I would like the
corresponding messages to be deleted in the master and then enough
messages to be fetched from the master to fill again the quota of the
most recent 100 messages in the slave. Finally, if new messages arrive
to the master, I would the corresponding number of messages to be
deleted from the slave (not from the master) so that it ends up again
with only the 100 most recent ones.

Would 'MaxMessages 100' achieve what I want? 

>From what I read, it seems to me that only using MaxMessages 100 would
fetch all of my unread messages which are >>100, while using
'MaxMessage 100' and 'ExpireUnread yes' might remove unread messages
leaving me with less than 100.

Best regards,
Luis
