I completely agree. And like you said, teaching MH about IMAP is
a huge job.

The sync algorithm is explained here:
http://offlineimap.org/howitworks.html
And for how it works for competing clients ... well, I guess it depends
on _how_ they are competing. The challenge that pops out at me is how
to maintain a mapping between nmh message numbers and IMAP message
identifiers. Looks like there's a database backend that does that at
least for Maildir.
Please let us know what you find out about it! I don't know Python, but
I'd be willing to learn.
