idea - (dream?) - tagging based on gmail folders - offlineimap, notmuch or both together?

Hi

I am dreaming again (necessary from time to time...)

I am using offlineimap and notmuch. With offlineimap I sync the "all mail" folder only and with
notmuch I do the indexing for searching (my normanl mail client is still thunderbird...).

I thought: When I am syncing "all mail" with offlineimap, all my folder (tags) from gmail are
gone. To avoid this, I could sync all folders, but that would multiply the amound I need to sync
and likely cause problems.

But what about notmuch could tag my mails based on the gmail folders / tags?

That would be brilliant. Would this be possible? *Is* it possible? I mean - tags in notmuch and in
gmail - how to sync them? Or would this be a task for offlineimap?

I just know this would be a brilliant solution for using gmail "locally" and, if on the road, from
the web interface or smartphone.

Any ideas on how to achieve this? Would this be a task for offlineimap, notmuch or a combination
of both?

Cheers and thanks for a your work on notmuch,

Rainer
