WM> To quote the site

WM>   OfflineIMAP is a tool to simplify your e-mail reading.
WM>   With OfflineIMAP, you can read the same mailbox from mul-  
WM>   tiple computers. You get a current copy of your messages

WM>   deleted on your work computer as well. [...]

I fail to understand the purpose of OfflineIMAP. The whole point of IMAP
(or: one key advantage over POP3) is that the mailbox resides on the
server, allowing for multiple clients to connect to the one server and
always access the same mailbox.

TB! has a way to go in terms of IMAP support; TB! sadly uses IMAP only
as a transport protocol but doesn't really use the server side mailbox.
However, a "OfflineIMAP" tool as described above is IMHO pointless.

Can anybody enlighten me, please?
