I tried using a combo of mbsync, notmuch, and notmuch-emacs to start migrating away from Gmail's UI (and eventually moving away from their service).
I found, though, that mbsync failed to download updates after the initial bulk load.
Has anyone else run into this, and/or found a good way to use notmuch with gmail?
- nextos 4y agoMaybe you ran into their daily IMAP usage cap?
- lilactown 4y agoThat's a reasonable hypothesis. My experience was mbsync would hang for many minutes, and eventually when I revisited the terminal it was in it had failed with a nondescript error.
- guiraldelli 4y agoYou are definitely running in the GMail's IMAP daily limitation [1]. It took me three days to fully synchronise wuth GMail, but ince done, it takes milliseconds, now. [1]: https://support.google.com/a/answer/1071518?hl=en https://support.google.com/a/answer/1071518?hl=en
- encryptluks2 4y agoI've not experienced this. Arch Linux has a good guide on setting up mbsync. However, the best documentation is really mbsync's manual... Although tedious, really understanding it makes things a lot easier and I believe would resolve your issues.
