I tried to solve my problem (below) using offlineimap instead of
imap. But now I have another problem. It seems that after adding an
X-Label to a message locally, offlineimap doesn't propagate that
change back to the mail server. I end up with messages that are
labelled in my laptop but not in my work computer. I guess (haven't
tried) that the reciprocal problem also exist and that messages
labelled in my server wouldn't be labelled in my laptop. Is there a
way to convince offlineimap to synch messages after being 'edited'
through mutt?
Best regards,
Luis
