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 is FAST; it synchronizes my two accounts with over 50 fold-
|
|
ers in 3 seconds. Other similar tools might take over a minute, and
|
|
achieve a less-reliable result. Some mail readers can take over 10
|
|
minutes to do the same thing, and some don't even support it at all.
|
|
Unlike other mail tools, OfflineIMAP features a multi-threaded synchro-
|
|
nization algorithm that can dramatically speed up performance in many
|
|
situations by synchronizing several different things simultaneously.
|
|
|
|
OfflineIMAP is FLEXIBLE; you can customize which folders are synced via
|
|
regular expressions, lists, or Python expressions; a versatile and com-
|
|
prehensive configuration file is used to control behavior; two user
|
|
interfaces are built-in; fine-tuning of synchronization performance is
|
|
possible; internal or external automation is supported; SSL and PREAUTH
|
|
tunnels are both supported; offline (or "unplugged") reading is sup-
|
|
ported; and esoteric IMAP features are supported to ensure compatibil-
|
|
ity with the widest variety of IMAP servers.
