I don't think there is an easy solution. notmuch uses a maildir and tags. Gmail needs to be synced to this local maildir earlier, and this is where I think the problem comes in: I am not aware of any sync tool which maintains the gmail labels, as they are in in the imap context folders. I think the only real solution woud be: Download from gmail -> local: 1) download only the "All Mail" folder 2) implement a tagging tool which syncs the gmail labels to notmuch tags upload local -> gmail 1) upload "All Mail folder 2) assign on gmail the labels corresponding to the notmuch tags. The step 1 could be done by any sync tool available for this (offlineimap, ...) step 2 needs to be developed - no idea how, but it surely would be really usefull, because then notmuch would even become a perfect tool for gmail backup as well.
