Status: barely working

This program is useful for me, but only in a limited fashion. It can download mail from GMail in a way that notmuch can index it, but there is no label/tag synchronization in either direction, and no synchronization of deleted mail.

Functionality and Goals

1. Synchronize GMail messages to local disk, where they can be indexed with notmuch (see http://notmuchmail.org).
2. Synchronize GMail labels with notmuch tags, in both directions.
3. Learn a bit about programming in Go. ;-)

This allows the user the best of both worlds: ubiquitous access to their email with the standard GMail interfaces, but access to the extremely flexible tagging, filtering, and email processing capabilities of notmuch.
