What is the best way to completely sync a far side folder to the near
side without keeping any previous near side messages?
depends on what you mean by that.
do you just want to get rid of the near-side copies, so you won't have
dupes when you re-sync?
or are you done with them and don't want to fetch them any more? that
sounds more like a job for fetchmail. or maybe isync's mail expiration
feature.
So either deleting the near side folder completely,
(including the state file.)
yes, starting from scratch always works fine.
or running mbsync --pull without removing the near side state file is
preferable(?).
selective syncing to avoid terminally destructive actions always bears
the risk that you accidentally run a full sync.
