10 sup-sync-back-maildir [options] [source uri...]
11
13 This script parses the Xapian entries for a given Maildir source and
14 renames (changes maildir flags) e-mail files on disk according to the
15 labels stored in the index. It will export all the changes you made in
16 Sup to your Maildirs so that they can be propagated to your IMAP server
17 with e.g. offlineimap.
18
19 The script also merges some Maildir flags into Sup such as R (replied)
20 and P (passed, forwarded), for instance suppose you have an e-mail file
21 like this: foo_bar:2,FRS (flags are favorite, replied, seen) and its
22 Xapian entry has labels `starred', the merge operation will add the
23 `replied' label to the Xapian entry.
24
25 If you choose not to merge (-m) you will lose information (`replied'),
26 and in the previous example the file will be renamed to foo_bar:2,FS.
27
28 Running this script is strongly recommended when setting the
29 “sync_back_to_maildir” option from false to true in config.yaml or
30 changing the “sync_back” flag to true for a source in sources.yaml.
31
32 If no source is given, the default behavior is to sync back all Maildir
33 sources marked as usual and that have not disabled sync back using the
34 configuration parameter sync_back = false in sources.yaml.
35
37 -n, --no-confirm
38 Don’t ask for confirmation before synchronizing
39
40 -m, --no-merge
41 Don’t merge new supported Maildir flags (R and P)

43 -l, --list-sources
