I hate to admit it, but I'm always bouncing > back and forth between Gmail and mutt. My solution is to not review patches or send plain-text responses with the Gmail web interface. I use Mutt and alot as my mailers for patch review. I use the Gmail web interface for everything else. Mail fetching and syncing (along with bidirection sync of Notmuch tags and Gmail Labels) is achieved with the excellent Lieer tool: https://github.com/gauteh/lieer Only missing feature in that tool is to do something like fetching only last 30 days of mail (basic feature for offlineimap and friends) for the "flying with my laptop to Linux conference" use case. Maybe another GSoC submission if I'm feeling greedy? ;-) Best regards, Mike -- Michael Turquette CEO - Los Angeles, CA BayLibre - At the Heart of Embedded Linux http://baylibre.com/ Schedule a meeting: https://calendly.com/mturquette
