<br>
I'm using emacs + notmuch + offlineimap + msmtp to manage my Gmail.<br>
<br>
My gmail account is starting to get so big that an offline sync is time<br>
consuming.<br>
<br>
I'd like to delete messages on the server, but keep them locally. Is<br>
that possible with IMAP?<br>
<br>
There is one complicating factor that stops me from being able to use<br>
fetch-only POP3: I'd like to keep files on the server if they have the<br>
+flagged tag, which is equivalent to "starred" in the Gmail interface.<br>
<br>
Has anybody got a setup similar to this?<br>
<br>
<br>

Best regards,<br>
