How could one manage gmail labels in gmail > from within mutt in a safe way? I've had no problem whatsoever with just: s=Label<enter> But then I don't use labels with gmail very much at all because the search is so good; in fact I have "s" rebound to "save to all mail", which removes things from the inbox but does nothing else. Here's all my gmail-related stuff, with comments, in case it helps: ############ # Gmail-related keyboard shortcuts ############ # This allows going to space-containing folders bind editor <space> noop # The trash variable doesn't exist in this version of mutt, so we # trash with delete; we also turn off pattern delete due to no "ask # for user input" command; just use the tag functions # # Note that saving to Trash immediately, forcefully, deletes the message from # the inbox; this causes a "Mailbox was externally modified. Flags # may be wrong." message, and often causes the cursor to go # somewhere weird. This does not seem to be fixable, although you # could add <last-entry> or something to these macros and at least # end up in a predictable place. # macro index,pager d "<save-message>=[Gmail]/Trash<enter>" "Gmail trash message" macro index,pager D noop macro index,pager ^D "<tag-thread><tag-prefix><save-message>=[Gmail]/Trash<enter>" "Gmail trash thread" macro index,pager <esc>d "<tag-subthread><tag-prefix><save-message>=[Gmail]/Trash<enter>" "Gmail trash thread" # Saving to Trash immediately, forcefully, deletes the message from # the inbox; this means undelete of all kinds is useless, you have # to go to the trash and save them to another label, or use the web # interface. macro index,pager u noop macro index,pager ^u noop macro index,pager <esc>u noop # I don't use labels basically ever, so by default save just means # "get it out of my inbox" macro index,pager s "<save-message>=[Gmail]/All Mail<enter>" "Remove from inbox/save to all mail" macro index,pager ,s "<save-message>" "Normal save" macro index,pager S "<save-message>" "Normal save" # Macros to go to common gmail labels. macro index,pager ,i "<change-folder>=INBOX<enter>" "Go to inbox" macro index,pager ,a "<change-folder>=[Gmail]/All Mail<enter>" "Go to all mail" macro index,pager ,s "<change-folder>=[Gmail]/Sent Mail<enter>" "Go to outbox" macro index,pager ,d "<change-folder>=[Gmail]/Drafts<enter>" "Go to drafts" -Robin -- http://singinst.org/ : Our last, best hope for a fantastic future. .i ko na cpedu lo nu stidi vau loi jbopre .i danfu lu na go'i li'u .e lu go'i li'u .i ji'a go'i lu na'e go'i li'u .e lu go'i na'i li'u .e lu no'e go'i li'u .e lu to'e go'i li'u .e lu lo mamta be do cu sofybakni li'u
