Syncing Replies

[Colton Ogden]

Thanks very much for the follow-up. Just to elaborate on what I'm trying to
achieve:

   - OfflineIMAP 6.5.4.
   - I have two Gmail (i.e., Google Apps) accounts, alice at cs50.net and
   bob at cs50.net.
   - I'm trying to sync a folder (i.e., label) called "cogden" between
   those two accounts such that, whenever Alice adds an email to "cogden" on
   her end, it ends up in Bob's "cogden" folder, and vice versa. To do so, I'm
   first trying to sync to a local Maildir account that's meant to be a middle
   man.
   - To test this, Alice currently has 3 emails in her "cogden" label: 1
   original email and 2 replies to it.
   - When I run offlineimap with the attached .offlineimaprc, though, only
   the 1 original email ends up getting synced to the local Maildir, per the
   output below:

*% ./offlineimap.py *
OfflineIMAP 6.5.4
  Licensed under the GNU GPL v2+ (v2 or any later version)
Account sync alice at cs50.net:
 *** Processing account alice at cs50.net
 Establishing connection to imap.gmail.com:993
 Creating folder cogden[alice at cs50.net-local]
Folder cogden [acc: alice at cs50.net]:
 Syncing cogden: Gmail -> Maildir
 Copy message 3 (1 of 1) alice at cs50.net-remote:cogden ->
alice at cs50.net-local
Account sync alice at cs50.net:
 *** Finished account 'alice at cs50.net' in 0:01

*% find ~/Mail*
.
./alice at cs50.net
./alice at cs50.net/cogden
./alice at cs50.net/cogden/cur
./
alice at cs50.net/cogden/cur/1403536775_0.3923.air.local,U=3,FMD5=e41c2488d294c886135606bf82aef9c7:2,S
./alice at cs50.net/cogden/new
./alice at cs50.net/cogden/tmp


Per the attached screenshot, though, Gmail does think that there are 3
emails in "cogden" in Alice's account. Do I perhaps have my .offlineimaprc
file configured wrong, if the goal is to sync all 3 of those emails to the
local Maildir?

Thank you!

Colton
