* This code is now multithreaded. New config file options
control the
behavior. This can make synchronizing several times faster.
* Fixed the STATUS call to be compatible with Exchange.
* Added the ability to exclude folders.
* If upgrading from 1.0.x, you will need to add
maxsyncaccounts to the
general section and maxconnections to each account
sections.
There is also a new folderfilter option.
You can find examples of all of these in
the new offlineimap.conf
example file packaged with the
distribution.
* The Debian package now properly
installs the example offlineimap.conf

* Synchronize your mail using a completely safe and fault-tolerant
algorithm. (At least I think it is!)
* Customize which mailboxes to synchronize with regular expressions
or lists.
* Synchronize your mail two to four times faster than with other tools
or other mail readers' internal IMAP support.
In short, OfflineIMAP is a tool to let you read mail how YOU want to.

That's it!
--------------------------------------------------
Q. What about the speed of the sync?
A. OfflineIMAP 2.0 contains a multithreaded system. A good way to
experiment is by setting maxsyncaccounts to 3 and maxconnections to 3
in each account clause.
This lets OfflineIMAP open up multiple connections simultaneously.
That will let it process multiple folders and messages at once. In
most cases, this will increase performance of the sync.
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. Administrators might take
unkindly to this, and the server might bog down. There are many
variables in the optimal setting; experimentation may help.
An informal benchmark yields these results for my setup:
OfflineIMAP 2.0 sync with multitreading: 9 seconds
OfflineIMAP 1.x sync w/o multithreading: 20 seconds
GNUS sync: 5 minutes
MacOS X Mail.app "manual cache" method: 10 minutes
OfflineIMAP's default configuration example does not have
multithreading enabled. You must configure it yourself to gain these
performance benefits. This decision was taken to provide a "works out
of the box" experience.
