gotmuch
Status: barely working
This program is useful for me, but only in a limited fashion. It can download
mail from GMail in a way that notmuch
can index it, but there is no label/tag
synchronization in either direction, and no synchronization of deleted mail.
Functionality and Goals
- Synchronize GMail messages to local disk, where they can be indexed with
notmuch
(see http://notmuchmail.org).
- Synchronize GMail labels with
notmuch
tags, in both directions.
- Learn a bit about programming in Go. ;-)
This allows the user the best of both worlds: ubiquitous access to their email
with the standard GMail interfaces, but access to the extremely flexible
tagging, filtering, and email processing capabilities of notmuch
.
