As of yet, Geary only reflects what's available via IMAP, and that only
partially. There are already utilities out there (e.g.
[NoPriv](https://github.com/RaymiiOrg/NoPriv)) to backup IMAP mail to a
locally-accessible archive. Without local-only folders (#7602), there's not
much this ticket would accomplish.

Comment 2 GNOME Infrastructure Team 2021-07-05 13:24:10 UTC
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/geary/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
