# Description
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Welcome to the official OfflineIMAP project.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
OfflineIMAP is a tool to simplify your e-mail reading. With OfflineIMAP, you can
|
||
|
|
read the same mailbox from multiple computers. You get a current copy of your
|
||
|
|
messages on each computer, and changes you make one place will be visible on all
|
||
|
|
other systems. For instance, you can delete a message on your home computer, and
|
||
|
|
it will appear deleted on your work computer as well. OfflineIMAP is also useful
|
||
|
|
if you want to use a mail reader that does not have IMAP support, has poor IMAP
|
||
|
|
support, or does not provide disconnected operation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
OfflineIMAP works on pretty much any POSIX operating system, such as Linux, BSD
|
||
|
|
operating systems, MacOS X, Solaris, etc.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
OfflineIMAP is a Free Software project licensed under the GNU General Public
|
||
|
|
License. You can download it for free, and you can modify it. In fact, you are
|
||
|
|
