I am considering the use of an offline mail store for GMail, which I have not
done before. I am looking at mbsync and offlineimap. Reports suggest that
mbsync is faster and uses less memory than offlineimap.
Does mbsync support GMail's labels?
I have a hierarchy of gmail labels (eg a/b), with some mail tagged at interior nodes
("label:a") and some at the leaf nodes ("label:a/b"). Some messages have
multiple labels. Will mbsync pull down this information (possibly as an X-Label header)? For
multiply labeled messages, can it store a single copy (eg, maybe I can just sync [Gmail]\All
Mail?). If it matters, I plan to try it with mu4e in emacs.
Part of the reason I'm asking is that offlineimap does not seem to support this
out of the box, although there do seem to be patches that will make it work. It
is not clear to me what support mbsync provides for gmail's IMAP extensions or
non-standard implementation.
Thanks!
