When I have a Gmail IMAP folder (aka "label") open in mutt and use link-thread, the message I linked to the other one has the label removed.
Example: I am in the IMAP folder imaps://imap.gmail.com/whatever (i.e. all messages labeled "whatever" in Gmail). One message has subject "foo". One message has subject "bar". They are not related, hence not threaded in mutt. I tag message "bar", move to message "foo" and hit "&" for link-thread. The messages are linked in a thread: foo '--> bar Fine so far. I hit "$" to sync the mailbox, and message "bar" disappears. When I log in to Gmail using their web interface, message "bar" is still in "All Mail", but has the label "whatever" removed. To me, this makes Gmail unusable for reading mailing lists *). Am I doing something wrong? Is there a fix? (Detailed info about my mutt version at bottom of this message) m. *) especially since I normally don't use IMAP directly, but offlineimap, with "realdelete=yes", and that means the linked message is actually moved to the Trash. (I'm assuming this is something between how mutt links threads and Gmail, and not offlineimap, since I experience it directly in IMAP as well, as described).
