sup\-sync\-back\-maildir \- Export Xapian entries to Maildir sources on
disk
.SH SYNOPSIS
.PP
sup\-sync\-back\-maildir [\f[I]options\f[]] [\f[I]source uri...\f[]]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
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.
.PP
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 \[aq]starred\[aq], the merge operation will add
the \[aq]replied\[aq] label to the Xapian entry.
.PP
If you choose not to merge (\-m) you will lose information
(\[aq]replied\[aq]), and in the previous example the file will be
renamed to foo_bar:2,FS.
.PP
Running this script is \f[I]strongly\f[] 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.
.PP
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.
