That part I haven't figured out yet.From what I understand, it's thinking the reverse of tags. When you're in a folder with Gmail, what you're actually seeing is all the emails that are labelled with that label. The only real folders seem to be "[Gmail]/All Mail" and "[Gmail]/Trash". So, onto my point, when you "delete" an email, you're actually only removing a label; when you "move" an email, you're removing a label and adding another; and when you're "saving" or "copying", you're adding a label. I hope that's clear enough.
Wait, so if I'm using offlineimap and I want to apply a new label to some of my mail in my Gmail inbox, all I need to do is save it in the appropriate folder and they will automagically be labeled in Gmail after they are sycn'd? I'm using offlineimap to sync my huge mailbox, which is sorted into folders (well, labeled) in Gmail but I hate it when I have to log on to my Gmail account just so I could tag some messages with a new label. Also, I remember Gmail using X-Label header to tag messages (or so I heard), whatever happened to that? I still have some old mail labeled that way, but I dont belive that would work in Gmail now. -- . O . | Djordje Todorovic [aceofknaves at G_M_A_I_L .com] | O . O . .
