Re: [Imap-protocol] Gmail IMAP and X-GM-MSGID

Hi Saqib,

Thanks for the quick response.

I'm trying to maximally deduplicate Gmail messages amongst an (arbitrary)
set of Gmail accounts synchronized locally. Seems like you can deduplicate
within-account easily based on X-GM-MSGID, but cross-account deduplication
is much harder.

I'm using Gmail IMAP.
