Enabling and disabling maildir.synchronize_flags

2015-07-01 Thread dm-list-email-notm...@scs.stanford.edu
Sorry if this question is answered somewhere, but I'm wondering: What is the best way to enable and disable maildir.synchronize_flags? It seems that disabling it should simply be safe. But re-enabling, one risks losing tags, as the next notmuch new will cause old maildir flags to override the

What to people use for calendar invites?

Hey, I'm playing around with the head of the git repository (bc64cdce289d84be2550c4fccb1f008d15eaeb0e) to try to figure out how the new folder: prefixes work, as folders are a critical part of how I organize my mail. (Since tags are not hierarchical, folders are the best way for me to group mail
