Better Gmail handling by not using Notmuch tags

[Damien Cassou]

Hi,

I'm a Gmail user and would like to keep using Gmail web interface in
parallel to Notmuch. Basically, I would like Notmuch to mimic Gmail's
behavior. In the notmuch mailing list, users proposed to convert Gmail
folders to Notmuch tags and back (e.g.,
http://notmuchmail.org/pipermail/notmuch/2012/009280.html). However, I
didn't see any out-of-the-box full implementation of this proposal.

Another solution would be to work directly with folders from Notmuch.
Adding a Notmuch tag would just copy the current mail file to a
different folder. Removing a tag would just remove the current mail
file from the folder. Would such a solution work? What would I loose?

Thank you
