Am I > correct in this interpretation? No, I mean, AFAICT, IMAP was not designed for this paradigm (same message present in different folders/tags/views/whatever). Mutt with the correct macros and folder-hooks can be bent into adapting to Gmail's style, mostly... I presume plugins for Icedove can be (already are?) written. Functionality similar to Gmail's can be seen in Outlook's search folders, Opera (forgot the name), notmuch, sup, ..., each with its own set of problems and/or limitations. > > Unfortunately it's not very usable via IMAP. > > I read somewhere in my travels across the Web today while researching > this that Google only has partial implementation of IMAP.

Another poster suggested that to me. Unless I'm missing something it does *not* do what I want, but I worked around it with mutt macros (see my other post).
