</div>So why do we need the offlineimap step here? In the scenario you've<br>
described, notmuch needs to speak IMAP, than why can't it just download<br>
the mail all together.<br></blockquote><div><br>Yes - offlineimap is not needed actually, but I personally I see notmuch as an indexing / tagging program for a mailabox in maildir format, which means local. So all changes are done locally, and not bad on an imap server (or synching tags with an imap server). This would be the job for offlineimap. But actually I don't care which program is doing it.<br>

</div>Big deal. Email headers are modified all the time by various pieces of<br>
