Unfortunately this script is GMail specific and I make use of some
GMail only extensions (X-GM-LABELS, XLIST, etc)  that render the
script unusable for any other mail store.  My main motivation for
creating this script was to get rid of offlineimap as this would store
each message twice, once in offlineimap folders and once in heliotrope
store.

Please do not use this script with your main account,...  It won't
affect your GMail data since I use read-only mode (IMAP examine) but
it still has some problems I need to handle before I can guarantee
that Heliotrope is 100% sync with GMail after running the script. For
instance sometimes GMail fails to send me the message body or timeouts
generating some IMAP exceptions I need to handle more gracefully.

If you have a test account with some messages any testing is greatly
appreciated...
