I tried mbsync as an alternative to offlineimap and it seems to solve
my problem: it propagates changes to X-Labels back and forth between
local and remote computers.

Thanks and regards,

Re: duplicates and x-labels

I tried to solve my problem (below) using offlineimap instead of
imap. But now I have another problem. It seems that after adding an
X-Label to a message locally, offlineimap doesn't propagate that
change back to the mail server. I end up with messages that are
labelled in my laptop but not in my work computer. I guess (haven't
tried) that the reciprocal problem also exist and that messages
labelled in my server wouldn't be labelled in my laptop. Is there a
way to convince offlineimap to synch messages after being 'edited'
through mutt? 

Best regards,
Luis

 I have an occasional but somewhat annoying problem. I made a program
 to edit X-Labels to somewhat emulate the behavior of gmail. When using
 my mail account remotely I use IMAP to access a dovecot server. Everything 
 works
 fine, but occasionally, the network fails and the connection is broken
 before I sync the mailbox. When I open the mailbox again, there are two
 versions of each edited message: the original that had been marked for
 deletion but had not been deleted and had lost the mark, and the same
 message but with the X-Label in place. Currently I order my mailbox by
 threads, and when I find a message that is x-labeled and marked as
 duplicate, I know that I can (manually) delete its predecessor. Is
 there some mutt expression that would  allow me to select all those
 messages automatically? The expression ~= doesn't work, as it
 correspond to the successors, i.e., the messages that have been
 labelled and that I want to keep.
