You might have copies of email everywhere without realising it. If gmail |
| 10 |
is set up as imap, then it will keep a copy of all your mail. I have |
| 11 |
dovecot set up which keeps a copy of all mine. |

Suck it and see, but if you have /home on one drive, and dovecot cache |
| 14 |
on another, then you shouldn't lose anything. Mail clients should err on |
| 15 |
the side of caution, and if they disagree with the server they should |
| 16 |
assume the worst and sync keeping not sync deleting. |
