Sup guys, Sorry for having been so long.
What's new: - I added an option in sup-sync-back-maildir to merge the :replied and :forwarded labels/flags so the first time you run the script you should not lose any information on the IMAP side; - A way to detect if sup-sync-back-to-maildir should be executed in order to synchronize your index back to the Maildir source in order to prevent any loss of information. A magic file is written in the configuration directory everytime the script is executed and it is removed when the sync_back_to_maildir option is set from false to true; - I fixed a case when messages were not properly updated when they were remotely modified. I have pushed the last commits to the maildir-sync branch [0], it is rebased from master. I also have a branch rebased from next on my own repository if you'd rather a more up to date branch [1]. Please test and review! For more informations and a howto, read the message quoted below this mail.
