I switched away from offlineimap when I got a synchronization issue and had to re-download all my mail, and it took forever. Then mbsync was much faster, but today offlineimap seems quite fast, maybe even faster. Either way, even if it was slower, and buggy, it is more useful, and that's what really matters. There's no point in using mbsync when I cannot use most of my Gmail labels because they have too many messages, and to forever have the unread flag out of sync. -- Felipe Contreras ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
