I agree but the added benefit of offlineimap is that first of all you will have a local copy of all your mail. Redunancy is always a good idea. Secondly, you will not have any of the normal network delays. Everything is stored locally, send with msmtp, and synced with the remote server via a cron job. I personally love it. I know this is not what you had it mind, but create a new profile and just give it a whirl. -- Chuck Smith
