[mew-int 2692] is it possible to sync all folders and retrieve the rest of all mails using IMAP?

Hi,

I'm using Mew 6.2rc1 with Carbon Emacs on Mac.  I want to use Mew with IMAP to sync my mails in Gmail for offline reading.  Is it possible to sync all the folders I subscribed with a single command?  And is there a similar function to retrieve the rest of truncated mail marked with a "T"?

Sincerely,
Wen Zhang

I can use Gmail's Trash folder with the configuration above.  I heard
that a Japanese person cannot use the folder if he configures Gmail to
use Japanese menu. I'm using Gmail with English configuration...

Currently, no.

Put the '*' mark to truncated messages by hand and type "mI". This
command can retrieve multiple messages in a folder.

If you want a command to mark truncated messages with '*', I will
implement it.

If you always want to retrieve truncated messages, you should unlimit
the IMAP message size.

(setq mew-imap-size 0)

Thank you.  I setup my .mew.el using  "setq mew-imap-trash folder" command and it works.

Currently, no.
Would it be possible that such a command will be implemented in the near future?

As far as I can tell, "mI" does not refetch messages that have already
been retrieved. Thus you can safely mark all messages with "ma", then
use "mI" to retrieve them. I do this all the time. Before I discovered
this, I would mark just the truncated messages using "mr", giving the
regeular expression "^ T".

Ah yes. You are right.
