correct, and this pattern is rather thoroughly tested, being used by me
on a regular basis.

weird.

first, make sure that you sync only [All Mail] or specific labels, but
not both. also, make sure to disable gmail's auto-expunge.
though these are both unlikely to be the root problem if this happens
with other servers as you report.

what seems more likely is that you did something wrong with notmuch.
it's supposed to alias the actual mails (which mbsync would sync) via
symlinks into virtual folders (mbsync should not even know that they
exist). your description makes it sound likely that you violated that
pattern.
