This is a line of code where we delete the uid after the mail is stored in the maildir. This statement is legal. I'd say all the current lines of...

In https://github.com/OfflineIMAP/offlineimap/blob/master/offlineimap/folder/GmailMaildir.py#L218 `copymessageto` is called which removes the `uid`.

Yes, merging folders is not possible. There's a one-to-one mapping between local and remote with the UIDs for the emails for each mailbox.

What you're attempting to do should be possible. HOWEVER, be sure to not mix the cache data between both syncs setups. Either use different conf file files with uniq metadatadir...

First, the error message should provide the lock file path to help the user. That's the easy part. In this case I expect the (previous) process to be stuck so...
