Sync recent mails

[bkkavin]

maxage or startdate doesn't seem to work.
I have given gmaildir and gmail options. In the config file it is said that startdate is only supported for IMAP and not gmail. I saw your blog post saying maxage is deprecated or smtg. What should I do to download only past 5 day's email or from a particular date.

I think you can use maxage if you change options to imap (remote) and maildir (local) or you can use startdate with imap (remote) and imap (local).
I haven't tried maxage or startdate but I know that gmail can be used with imap (remote) option.
