Re: Syncing and mutt "Mailbox is unchanged" issue

[Gammel H. <gam...@gm...>]

Thanks for these ideas.

It turns out it was a isync-mutt integration issue on my side. Now this
macro works as expected:

macro index 0 "!mbsync email:INBOX && notmuch
new<enter><change-folder>=inbox<enter>"

One needs to change to the current folder to get everything re-read by
mutt. Otherwise, the "Mailbox is unchanged" issue pops up. Oddly, if one
doesn't invoke change-folder deletion is detected, but sync-folder ($)
refuses to remove messages. It's also a bit counterintuitive sync-folder
($) is only a one way sync.
