This second way seems bad, as deleting near side .mbsyncstate, pulling in all changes and THEN running a bi-directional sync may create duplicates on the far side, as described by Oswald in one of his last replies as: "remember to clear the far side again after removing the state file, or you'll get duplicates for the few new mails that did get synced.
So either deleting the near side folder completely, or running mbsync --pull without removing the near side state file is preferable(?). _______________________________________________ isync-devel mailing list isync-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/isync-devel
