For gmail how do you setup notmuch mail ?...

[Alex Botero-Lowry]

I have some code[1] that bidirectionally syncs gmail labels into tags in
notmuch, but it's not fast enough to be run continuously. Eventually, and I
mean that with the longest possible value, I'll get around to fixing that.
If you're interested in trying to fix it I can explain the issues and some
ideas I had to fix it.
