[VM] label synchronization between vm, imap server (gmail) & other clients

[E]

Hi all, I noticed that a message that is "flagged" in apple Mail.app
also appeared "starred" in gmail, and can be un-flagged on gmail by
un-starring it there, and vice versa. These flagged or starred
messages appear in vm as red-highlighted summary lines with an
exclamation mark to the left of the subject line, which is great. But
I don't see any way of un-marking/ un-labeling them to remove the
exclamation mark. When the message is un-flagged/ un-starred on
Mail.app or gmail.com, this change does not propagate to vm. any
suggestions? thanks, best, E

Check `vm-toggle-flag-message' (normally bound to `!').

As for propagation to vm, you need to do `vm-get-new-mail' to synchronize
with the server. (This is an instance of the issue I was discussing in the
other thread titled the "Google docs" paradigm.)

wonderful, works, thanks! not sure why I wasn't able to find this
myself in the documentation... label propagation indeed works both
ways using vm-get-new-mail and vm-save-folder (I have them bound to g
and s, and dont mind doing this manually...). thanks again, best, E
