Locally Archiving email in folder - no delete if remote delete

Hi

There was a recent discussion about using offlineimap as a "only download from remote and do not
delete local email even if deleted on remote server" setup, kind of an archive off all mails. Has
there been any progress? Unfortunately I can't find the thread at the moment.

My reasoning: I want to archive my email from gmail on a local imap server by doing the following:

1) label the email on gmail as "To Be Archived"
2) use offlinemap to download all emails in this "To Be Archived" folder
3) delete them on gmail

Any suggestions?

Otherwise I would do

2.5) Move email in the local imap server into a folder which is not synched (Only the "To Be
Archived" folder is synched through a floderfilter)

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Rainer
