-*TODO*
+ Optional:
+ Generate a *zfs* mountpoint dedicated to your Mails:
+ {% highlight bash %}
+ $ zfs create zroot/usr/home/$USER/Mail
+ {% endhighligt %}
+
+ To create a snapshot (with a date as the seed) you can run:
+ {% highlight bash %}
+ $ zfs snapshot zroot/usr/home/$USER/Mail@$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S)offlineimap
+ {% endhighligt %}
+
+ Of course you need to point your 'localfolders' to a subdirectory of the zfs
mountpoint you are generating a snapshot of.
+
+ Now you can easily wrap your offlineimap command with a failsafe like that:
+ {% highlight bash %}
+ #!/bin/sh
+ zfs snapshot zroot/usr/home/$USER/Mail@$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S)offlineimap
+ # append your commandline options as needed to the script
+ offlineimap $\*
+ {% endhighligt %}
+
+*TODO*:
+ Implement as offlineimap hook
