Hi,

I would like to use isync to keep my local changes updated on the server as soon as a \
change is made, but only for the folders that are modified. This way, my co-workers \
can immediately be notified when I send mail or move mail for shared email addresses. \
Doing a full mbsync takes too long with hundreds of folders.

Since all new mail arrives in INBOX (or spam), I have a systemd timer that runs \
mbsync for only those channels. This effectively keeps my client updated.

To update my sent mail on the server, it would be easy if I had a Sent folder, as I \
would only have to update that one folder in a send-hook. However, I save replies in \
the same folder as the source to keep threads intact. I also move mail frequently \
after it arrives in my INBOX.

Is there a way to mbsync only the changed folder using send hooks and folder hooks?

-Allan
