NAME

       sup-sync-back-maildir - Export Xapian entries to Maildir sources on disk

SYNOPSIS

       sup-sync-back-maildir [options] [source uri...]

DESCRIPTION

       This  script  parses  the  Xapian  entries for a given Maildir source and renames (changes maildir flags)
       e-mail files on disk according to the labels stored in the index.  It will export  all  the  changes  you
       made in Sup to your Maildirs so that they can be propagated to your IMAP server with e.g.  offlineimap.

       The  script  also  merges  some Maildir flags into Sup such as R (replied) and P (passed, forwarded), for
       instance suppose you have an e-mail file like this: foo_bar:2,FRS (flags are favorite, replied, seen) and
       its  Xapian  entry  has  labels 'starred', the merge operation will add the 'replied' label to the Xapian
       entry.

       If you choose not to merge (-m) you will lose information ('replied'), and in the  previous  example  the
       file will be renamed to foo_bar:2,FS.

       Running  this script is strongly recommended when setting the "sync_back_to_maildir" option from false to
       true in config.yaml or changing the "sync_back" flag to true for a source in sources.yaml.

       If no source is given, the default behavior is to sync back all Maildir sources marked as usual and  that
       have not disabled sync back using the configuration parameter sync_back = false in sources.yaml.
