Thanks for the fast reply.

The problem is that I have set these values correctly and deleting
does not work at all. To check if there is any syncing from Maildir -> GMail
I deleted my whole Maildir folder and synced again with offlineimap. To
my surprise I found again all the messages from my GMail account. Even
the unread tag hasn't been changed, so I assume there had not been any
syncing of my Maildir folder. I doublechecked my settings in my .offlineimaprc
and my .muttrc but did not find something wrong.

As a next step I will try to avoid the pre-configured GMail repository and to set up
the remote repository manually. This will help me toSebastian become more familiar with the
whole "e-mail thing".

But any help of course is very appreciated!

Thanks!

Kind regards,
