Hmm, as far as I understand, a message is always present in [Gmail]/All Mail', unless moved to [Gmail]/Trash or [Gmail]/Spam. New mail (not filtered) goes to my Inbox. If I want to get rid of it for good I move it to [Gmail]/Trash, but if I want to "archive" it I just delete the Inbox tag for it, since the mail still has the All Mail tag. Maybe this is mutt specific, but if I just delete the mail from Inbox in All Mail the message is still marked as unread (a.k.a new). If I mark it as read and sync, then it's also marked as read in All Mail. I assume Gmail takes the delete from Inbox command quite literally and doesn't also mark the message as read first. I guess I can write a macro to remap 'd' to <toggle-new><sync-mailbox><delete-message> instead... > On a slightly different note does anybody know the correct FCC to > move sent items to Googles 'sent' folder, at the moment I have the > somewhat unsatisfactory arrangement of stuff sent by Alpine ending > up in a separate folder. If you send via Gmail's SMTP you always have a copy in Gmail's sent, so it should be enough to tell alpine not to save its own copy.
