Fetching from gmail

[Christopher Moore]

Steve,
How do you tell mutt to copy a message to trash.  Would you do something 
like:
C =Trash

Maybe this could be assigned to the d key.  I'd also like to assign 
something similar to ctrl+d to remove an entire thread.

Cleaning out the "all maiil" folder may be quite labor intensive.  We'd 
want to delete all conveersations without an assigned label.  This would 
take quite a while using the web interface.  Perhaps there are some 
python bindings for gmail which could be used.  
I don't really mind that mutt removes the messages from the inbox if we 
had a utility to clean out the "all mail" folder once in a while.
