Sharing via ownCloud the OfflineIMAP maildir and the notmuch database should be useful to have full email functionality (including Emacs interface and notmuch tags) in any GNU/Linux device with a keyboard. Don’t you think it’s relevant? Now I thought, since I rarely access work e-mail from home at all, maybe I should keep its maildir out of ownCloud, and when I need to access work email from home I should just use the webmail. So only the personal account (Disroot) maildir would be kept in ownCloud. And since I can't access external IMAP at work, I would not share the OfflineIMAP metadata; I would only share the OfflineIMAP maildir and the notmuch database. What do you two think? Note that the maildir (shared via ownCloud) would not be used strictly read-only from work, because notmuch would sometimes change it to synchronize tag changes. Custom notmuch tags are not synchronized with standard maildir, but a few standard tags are. I find this functionality very useful and have kept it enabled (the default).
