Emacs + mu + mu4e, with offlineimap. I need to switch to isync, because offlineimap is pants.

  Same here, but, if you use it with Gmail, let me recommend Abdó Roig-Maranges' fork of offlineimap, which implements labels[1][2]! That way you can sync only [Gmail].All Mail and all the other info (such as /Inbox, /Sent and any other custom labels) come as X-Keywords in the header (no duplicates, and no lost metadata)[3]. And mu4e supports all this[4]! [1] https://github.com/aroig/offlineimap https://github.com/aroig/offlineimap [2] The homebrew tap, if that's your thing: https://github.com/jeastman/homebrew-offlineimapwithlabels https://github.com/jeastman/homebrew-offlineimapwithlabels [3] [Gmail].Trash and [Gmail].Drafts are also real folders, not just labels. You should sync them too. [Gmail].Sent Mail is just a saved search for /Sent labels. mu4e asks for a "sent" folder but, since you should (setq mu4e-sent-messages-behavior 'delete) anyway with Gmail, it becomes a dummy folder locally, and all is well. [4] A good config example: https://github.com/pygatea/dotfiles/blob/master/emacs.d/config/my-mu4e.el https://github.com/pygatea/dotfiles/blob/master/emacs.d/conf...

    I've bookmarked your comment. I'm gonna be forced to move back to commandline when gmail finally foists the new compose on me (fuckers[1]). [1] Some of us want to, you know, use email for longer messages than a tweet. It's hard to do that when PgUp/PgDn are so janky. And don't even get me started on S-PgUp and S-PgDn.
