Question:

Gmail IMAP to database sync

Sep 24 '14 at 01:28

Hi

I am planning to sync Gmail(Google Apps) messages to a local database for a custom application development with Chilkat IMAP component.

• I need some advices before I begin. I know Gmail labels behave like folders/mailboxes, but if I try to sync them all, there will be a lot of duplicates (since same message can have multiple labels)
• There will be tens thousands of messages, what should be a good strategy ? (like getting 100 msgs at a time..)
• Another problem is uniqueness of the messages; what should I store as message ID in db table ?

Thanks in advance..
