[MlMt] Problem with syncing Gmail labels and IMAP keywords

[DORSCH Fabian]

Hi,

thanks for the quick reply (I hope this is the right way of replying, 
rather than to the digest)!

I tried your suggestion and the reset works partially: it syncs Gmail -> 
Mailmate, but not Mailmate -> Gmail.

That's a bit of a pity since I thought about using Mailtags (in 
combination with Mail) to export all my emails with their labels from 
Gmail to Devonthink, so that I can delete them from the Gmail server, 
but still search for them via the labels/keywords. I'll have to see 
whether there is another way of doing this.

Best,

Fabian
