Greetings all,
I have been working on cleaning my years of e-mail. For that purpose I set-up mail/isync, downloaded and backed-up all the e-mail from the host (fastmail). Since I discovered mail/notmuch, I had been removing the folder structure from the host, tagging the e-mail I want to keep and moving it into an Archive folder. As I am still learning mail/aerc, I am doing it mostly on the host.
When I move the messages from a specific folder and delete the folder, I would like mirror the changes on the local machine. First problem I have is that there are two man-pages, isync (1) and mbsync() and they are inconsistent, cf., at least the directive Delete and Remove. I am using the XDG compliant ~/.config/isyncrc location of the configuration file, but execution
So I used Remove instead , which I understand should mark the massage for deletion and Expunge, which should delete the message:
But, it does not work. Any help would be appreciated.
Kindest regards,
M
