If you're using gmail for development you may often have tons of
mailing lists for one project, and so may use nested labels. This
shows how to use them, and how to try to avoid goin[g] over gmail's

i see the intent, but you can't just append that to the sample file.
instead, add it commented out to the existing header.

drop that.

... unless you enable insecure access.
anyway, i'd like to see a pointer to a page that contains clear
instructions how to obtain such a password.

have you tried mbsync's Flatten option? then you could just use Patterns
and would need no Group.
