Delete some emails from Gmail server with offlineimap. #704

At present, the space used in my Gmail mailbox is close to the quota, as shown below:

Therefore, I have to delete some emails to free up space, but I haven't found an efficient and reliable way to do this based on specific filtering conditions. I'm not sure if offlineimap can do this tedious job for me. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Offlineimap can sync the emails from the server to a local imap directory and sync back changes.

So, this could help to filter your emails if you aim at filtering them locally.
