fetchmail is still getting regularly updated :) Though fetchmail does one-way sync = pull. According to the OP's requirement for switching from "online IMAP" to "offline IMAP" he actually requires two-way as supported by offlineimap or (my preferred tool) isync/mbsync unless he is OK with local changes not being reflected on the IMAP server. @OP If speed is your only concern: have you already configured all available caching mechanisms (headers, messages) as explained in the mutt manual? Perhaps with the right cache use, the delay between mutt launching and going online wouldn't be as long anymore.
