OK. Thanks for the quick response.
If I also have some unlabeled mail, I would need to download All Mail to see
it, right? And then have duplicate copies of most mail?
What would be the main challenges in adding support for custom flags? Would
they be difficult to fetch? Has anyone tried to add them?

I am considering the use of an offline mail store for GMail, which I have not
done before. I am looking at mbsync and offlineimap. Reports suggest that
mbsync is faster and uses less memory than offlineimap.
Does mbsync support GMail's labels?
not really; mbsync has no support for custom flags.
gmail uses the labels to create virtual folders, and this is exposed to
imap. as mbsync supports hierarchical mailboxes, it will simply sync the
view, which may be close enough to what you need. but overlapping labels
definitely won't work.
