I really need to manage email on both computers. After failing to sync my Notmuch database using muchsync, I figured I'd just switch to Mu4e, which is "nicer" and doesn't keep anything locally, so everything is via IMAP.
It's just that I'd rather use Notmuch, so I may need to revisit the problem. I'd rather not, but ¯_(ツ)_/¯.

@jbaty did u try syncing your imap on both computers with mbsync/isync? The server is the reference store the , and the local computers just sync with it.

@apublicimage No, I let muchsync sync the mail store as well. I think that's how it's supposed to work, yes? Still ended up with 20,000 duplicates so I messed up somewhere

@jbaty but you don't need to synchronize you Mail Store if both local stores will always synchronice with the server which is the always up to date. I'd give it a try mbsync does a good job and never needs attention. And you would not need to switch the mail client. (Edited because of voice recognition going crazy)

@apublicimage So it's safe to run mbsync on both machines and then run muchsync on just the laptop, syncing just the notmuch db from the desktop. I'll give that a go, thanks!

@apublicimage I tried. Same problem. Maildir was up to date (via mbsync) on both machines. Laptop had no notmuch db. ran muchsync (without --init) on the laptop and it started sending duplicates of every message again. I'll figure it out :)
