Steve,
How do you tell mutt to copy a message to trash. Would you do something
like:
C =Trash
Maybe this could be assigned to the d key. I'd also like to assign
something similar to ctrl+d to remove an entire thread.
Cleaning out the "all maiil" folder may be quite labor intensive. We'd
want to delete all conveersations without an assigned label. This would
take quite a while using the web interface. Perhaps there are some
python bindings for gmail which could be used.
I don't really mind that mutt removes the messages from the inbox if we
had a utility to clean out the "all mail" folder once in a while.
Chris
