</div>I'll describe my own setup for using notmuch with gmail. I don't pretend<br>
it will work for everyone, but you might find some bits of it useful.<br>
<br>
I don't even try to sync notmuch tags and gmail labels (because I rarely<br>
use the labels or the web interface anyway), but I do get sync for<br>
"unread" and "flagged" (gmail and Android "starred"). You'll need<br>
maildir.synchronize_flags = true in your ~/.notmuch-config for this.<br></blockquote><div><br>I'm using a similar setup. An inconvenience with the setup is that I have various filters in gmail that filter, e.g., mailing list mails by skipping the gmail inbox and applying specific tags. As a result when I look at my gmail inbox, I don't see these (many) mailing list messages. With offlineimap+notmuch, however, since it just gets all the messages from [Gmail]/All Mail, it has no way of distinguishing between these two classes of messages, and so the notmuch new and unread message lists contain many messages that I don't want to look at. Ideally, I'd like a view in notmuch that shows the same messages as the gmail inbox. Is there a way to accomplish this?<br>

</div>I use offlineimap. I run it from the notmuch pre-new hook. This means I<br>
have to run "notmuch new" to receive new mail.<br>
<br>
$ cat ~/.maildir/.notmuch/hooks/pre-new<br>
#!/bin/sh<br>
exec /usr/bin/offlineimap<br>
<br>
I only sync "All Mail" from gmail. Perhaps there would be some<br>
optimizations that could be done, but I haven't bothered yet.<br>
<br>
$ cat ~/.offlineimaprc<br>
[general]<br>
accounts = Gmail<br>
ui = Noninteractive.Basic<br>
<br>
[Account Gmail]<br>
localrepository = Local<br>
remoterepository = Remote<br>
<br>
[Repository Local]<br>
type = Maildir<br>
localfolders = ~/.maildir<br>
<br>
[Repository Remote]<br>
type = IMAP<br>
ssl = yes<br>
remotehost = <a href="http://imap.gmail.com" target="_blank">imap.gmail.com</a><br>
remoteuser = <a href="mailto:USER@gmail.com">USER@gmail.com</a><br>
expunge = no<br>
realdelete = no<br>
<br>
folderfilter = lambda foldername: foldername in ['[Gmail]/All Mail']<br>
nametrans = lambda foldername: re.sub('^\[Gmail\]/All Mail', 'gmail', foldername)<br>

<br>
</div>Personally I use msmtp (msmtp and msmtp-mta packages in Debian based<br>
distros). The msmtp-mta sets up a sendmail-like binary that works out of<br>
the box in Emacs. Beware that it doesn't have a local queue, it works<br>
synchronously.<br>
<br>
$ cat ~/.msmtprc<br>
defaults<br>
logfile ~/.msmtp.log<br>
tls_trust_file /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt<br>
<br>
account default<br>
host <a href="http://smtp.gmail.com" target="_blank">smtp.gmail.com</a><br>
from <a href="mailto:USER@gmail.com">USER@gmail.com</a><br>
tls on<br>
tls_starttls off<br>
auth on<br>
user <a href="mailto:USER@gmail.com">USER@gmail.com</a><br>
<br>
Finally, I use goobook to use the gmail contacts as addressbook in<br>
Emacs. See <a href="http://mid.gmane.org/87zkfuh3i0.fsf@nikula.org" target="_blank">http://mid.gmane.org/87zkfuh3i0.fsf@nikula.org</a> for that.<br>
