I think this would help some of the users of notmuch: they could synchronize their mailboxes via offlineimap/isync/$other_tool and the tags (and non IMAP based messages) via muchsync.

I have experimented with something like this a little bit, but instead of using an imap server on top of libnotmuch, I simply used a local dovecot and deliver all my mail via offlineimap to subfolders of the local IMAP server. The issue is: it does not work with muchsync + offlineimap. The problem is exactly the same as when synchronizing via the file system: muchsync will create new messages in dovecot's maildir, but offlineimap does not know about these. Consequently it will start duplicating messages, because they have different IMAP IDs. This could be maybe made to work when both endpoints were libnotmuch based IMAP servers, but I don't have and probably will never have that. I really need to synchronize email from arbitrary IMAP servers, as I can't put my work email on a private email server. > That would also have the benefit of making > notmuch work really well with phones--you could use the gmail app on > your phone and the emacs/vim front-end on your desktop.

Re: How do you synchronize your notmuch tags across multiple machines?
Hi, thanks for sharing your setup! I have two points/questions: 1. Since your server runs dovecot & postfix, do you use this as your primary email server and forward all your email to it or do you use some other method to keep it synchronized with your email accounts? 2. I think the sync command was dropped from your email (see the quoted part below).

My solution to this problem is to have only one notmuch instance run on a remote VPS and connect to it via "thin" notmuch-emacs front-ends, very similar to [1]. It has been working very well for the last few years.

Re: How do you synchronize your notmuch tags across multiple machines?
Perhaps a bit late to reply to this, but I believe this can be useful: I managed to sync one machine which runs postfix and receives my email, and other three (home desktop, work desktop and notebook). - the server runs Postfix and Dovecot - muchsync is configured to synchronize local maildirs in the clients with the same maildir which is used by postfix and dovecot - the only synchronization I saw as necessary was to not let 2 different muchsync clients, or the dovecot server, to access the maildir at the same time (postfix never removes or edits messages, it only drops them in the maildir). since dovecot /does/ provide a maildir locking program, this was actually easy to do: the clients run this: in the server, the program that muchsync runs (the $remote_program above) is - also, since both myuser, dovecote and postfix will write to the same directory, I had to configure dovecot and postfix to use my uid and gid (I actually have these in a postfixadmin setup, so they're in adatabase). So far it works fine -- because I don't need to use IMAP all the time. I mostly use notmuch-aware clientes in the desktops and notebook, and only use IMAP from the phone. Hope this is useful.

I wonder if the thing to do would be to write an mbsync-specific utility to convert IMAP uids to notmuch properties and back. Then maybe I could extend muchsync to sync properties (which it currently ignores because I wrote muchsync before properties existed, and still don't really know what properties are good for). A problem with syncing properties, though, is that I don't know how to do conflict resolution correctly 100% of the time. One of the key insights behind muchsync is that with file names and binary flags, I think I figured out a sane way of resolving all conflicts without involving the user (namely take the max number of links in each directory with special treatment for new/ and cur/, then logically and the muchsync.and_tags, and logically or the other tags). With properties, it's not clear how to sync them generically. Moreover, some properties like session-key probably should not be synced, since you probably don't want to upload the equivalent of plaintext main messages to your mail server.

Re: How do you synchronize your notmuch tags across multiple machines?
Hi, I too, am using muchsync to synchronize between two machine, I too have profited from David's quick responses, and I too deal with the problem of only being able to "fetch mail" on one machine. I followed the discussion with interest. Looking at the isync (mbsync) docs (I can't speak for offlineimap) it might be easier: the state of the sync seems to be kept in little files per Maildir subdirectory, called .mbsyncstate and .uivalidity. If muchsync were to sync these files as well, then I think it would work. See the explanation of the .mbsyncstate file in this thread: https://sourceforge.net/p/isync/mailman/message/34682807/ quote: "mbsync maintains a mapping of remote (col 1) to local (col 2) uids. when you migrate, you can just duplicate the columns." He's talking about migrating a mail store from offlineimap to mbsync, I guess the issues would be the same.

Via muchsync or would one keep the tags on the > notmuch-imap server? However you want. If you run a local imap server and a remote imap server, then you can just sync between the two imap servers with any imap synching tool. But if the two hosts happen to be running imap servers implemented on top of libnotmuch, then you could use muchsync which would be faster. > How about a hacky and not ideal solution: "teach" notmuch to not only > synchronize the read and deleted tags with the maildir, but all tags? Unfortunately, there's no standard for how to encode these. Also, there's a pretty fundamental design decision in notmuch that it doesn't edit the mail messages. Now some imap servers, like dovecot, define other flags on a per-maildir basis, but it only works up to a certain number of flags, and you'd have to parse an extra file that tells you what the mappings are.

E.g. by injecting a header into the email? I would guess that this is simpler to implement then an IMAP server, but it carries its own set of problems (iirc there were discussions about such an idea on this list but were discarded for reasons that I don't remember).

The problem is that muchsync doesn't know about imap or offlineimap. Muchsync will happily ensure that all of your notmuch maildirs and tags are synchronized. But if you run offlineimap on E and then sync E to B, B will already have a copy of all new messages. If you run offlineimap on B then, it will download additional copies of the messages already synchronized over muchsync. One solution would be to archive all the messages downloaded with offlineimap as you download them. But then you have to remember to run muchsync to upload them to other machines, or you risk losing track of messages if you download them to a machine that you then immediately turn off. I'm open to other ideas if they require some kind of new feature from muchsync, but I'm worried that this would require delving into the guts of offlineimap (and then wouldn't work with other solutions like isync).

Re: How do you synchronize your notmuch tags across multiple machines?
I had the same problem. I found a solution: dispense with imap. This can be in two ways: For work, I use getmail (and imap) to read messages from an Exchange server and drop them in a maildir. Muchsync then coordinates those. For personal mail, I just use muchsync to directly manipulate Dovecot’s maildir. Both work fine. In the “work” case, changes are not pushed back up to the server. -- Brian Sniffen > On Jan 3, 2019, at 5:27 PM, Dan Čermák wrote: > > I have just given muchsync a try and it synchronizes email and tags very > quickly.
