Not at present. There is no technical reason not to; just no

OfflineIMAP can sync between two IMAP servers, and some IMAP
servers support other formats. You could install an IMAP server
on your local machine and have OfflineIMAP sync to that.
[technical] Why are your Maildir message filenames so huge?
OfflineIMAP has two relevant principles: 1) never modifying your
messages in any way and 2) ensuring 100% reliable
synchronizations. In order to do a reliable sync, OfflineIMAP
must have a way to uniquely identify each e-mail. Three pieces
of information are required to do this: your account name, the
folder name, and the message UID. The account name can be cal-
culated from the path in which your messages are. The folder

must have a way to uniquely identify each e-mail. Three pieces
of information are required to do this: your account name, the
folder name, and the message UID. The account name can be cal-
culated from the path in which your messages are. The folder
name can usually be as well, BUT some mail clients move messages
between folders by simply moving the file, leaving the name
between folders by simply moving the file, leaving the name
intact.
So, OfflineIMAP must store both a UID folder ID. The folder ID
So, OfflineIMAP must store both a UID folder ID. The folder ID
is necessary so OfflineIMAP can detect a message moved to a dif-
ferent folder. OfflineIMAP stores the UID (U= number) and an
ferent folder. OfflineIMAP stores the UID (U= number) and an
md5sum of the foldername (FMD5= number) to facilitate this.
What is the speed of OfflineIMAP's sync?

tem. A good way to experiment is by setting maxsyncaccounts to
OfflineIMAP versions 2.0 and above contain a multithreaded sys-

Don't set the number too high. If you do that, things might
actually slow down as your link gets saturated. Also, too many
connections can cause mail servers to have excessive load.

Can I use OfflineIMAP on Windows?
These answers have been reported by OfflineIMAP users. I do not
run OfflineIMAP on Windows myself, so I can't directly address
their accuracy.
The basic answer is that it's possible and doesn't require hack-
ing OfflineIMAP source code. However, it's not necessarily
trivial. The information below is based in instructions submit-
ted by Chris Walker.
First, you must run OfflineIMAP in the Cygwin
<URL:http://www.cygwin.com/> environment.
Next, you'll need to mount your Maildir directory in a special
way. There is information for doing that at
<URL:http://barnson.org/node/view/295>. That site gives this
example:
mount -f -s -b -o managed "d:/tmp/mail" "/home/of/mail"
