OfflineIMAP

"Get the emails where you need them."

Description

OfflineIMAP is a software to dispose your e-mail mailbox(es) as a local Maildir. OfflineIMAP will synchronize both sides via IMAP.

The main downside about IMAP is that you have to trust your email provider to not lose your mails. This is not something impossible while not very common. With OfflineIMAP, you can download your Mailboxes and make you own backups of the Maildir.

This allows reading your email while offline without the need for the mail reader (MUA) to support IMAP disconnected operations. Need an attachment from a message without internet connection? It's fine, the message is still there.

Project status and future

As one of the maintainer of OfflineIMAP, I'd like to put my efforts into imapfw. imapfw is a software in development that I intend to replace OfflineIMAP in the long term.

That's why I'm not going to do development in OfflineIMAP. I continue to do the maintenance job in OfflineIMAP: fixing small bugs, (quick) reviewing/merging patches and rolling out new releases, but that's all.

While I keep tracking issues for OfflineIMAP, you should not expect support much from me anymore.

You won't be left at the side. OfflineIMAP's community is large enough so that you'll find people for most of your issues.
