So far, I've created a loop resulting in a directory with size 100 entries. Anyone try this and have a working setup? Why not install simple IMAP server on your local machine and then use imapsync to transfer the data (or use Dovecot if itÂ’s already installed)? All you need then is to tell your local IMAP to use Maildir. Imapsync is very easy to use and also very reliable (my own oppinion). Since it's Perl it's not as fast as it could be but it should be just fine for your needs. - Mikkel

I guess to do Imap-Imap I could create another user account on my dovecot server (I'm the only user on that system, it's just using local accounts and local unix auth). Yeah, I guess you could try it, but it's even less likely to work than IMAP-Maildir. .offlineimaprc is attached. I wanted to try syncing just 1 folder (fetchmail). I've never used offlineimap before, and was just guessing at some of the settings. Your settings look reasonable. Try on the offlineimap list. -- Asheesh. -- Chemist who falls in acid is absorbed in work.
