Hi Oswald,

thanks for that.

I tried that and it only worked so-so.

1) mbsync -L ownserver  # intentionally
2) Fired up neomutt, deleted some emails
3) Exit mutt, synced with "mbsync -H ownserver" this time...
4) Refreshed Rainloop, and now those deleted emails got duplicated, the 
original emails are still there, but in the Trash as well

5) Started neomutt again, now this time "Archived" an email, move to a 
particular folder.
6) The result this time is different, the source email is marked as read in 
Rainloop, but the Archive folder *does not* contain that email, additionally 
all emails have been touched and now sorted in a weird way - this is partially 
a problem with Rainloop as it doesn't sort by email-data, but unstead the epoch 
time from the actual file.

I really at loss here. Sincere apologies, but offlineimap wasn't that 
temperamental to get going.
Additionally I ready about the email date problems and read that 
"CopyArrivalDate yes" comes to the rescue. It didn't,
all emails still got touched.
That email "file" dates are rewritten is a big problem. I had similar problems 
in the past with isync and needed to rewrite
like 103k emails directly in their respective imap folders.


Kind Regards

Thomas Preissler
