Hello,

I never used that but, offlineimap seems to be able to sync the labels
using a custom(?) message header. See:

https://github.com/OfflineIMAP/offlineimap/blob/fc4c7549d6d03415edc2537b29c83fd6baea1bc6/offlineimap/folder/Gmail.py#L67

I am not sure if that is really meaningful.  Maybe mail clients like
mu4e can be used to search this header in a way easy to use.

Best,
Daniele
