Hello!
I?m thinking of changing the way I sync mail to my laptop, and I
have a couple questions about my intended setup.
In brief, my plan is: instead of running offlineimap against
various IMAP accounts (my personal one included), I will run
fetchmail on my private server, and classify mail with Sieve
there.
Then I?ll run a local Dovecot on my laptop, and do a master/master
replication from my personal server/account with dsync.
I have two quick questions about this (I have never used dsync
before):
1. Reading the manual page, it seems that I probably want
stateful synchronization (-s flag).
Not having used it before, I?m curious about what lag I can
expect. Does it compare to an IMAP IDLE/IMAP NOTIFY
connection? Or is it asynchronous / with a timer?
2. I assume modifying my local Maildirs with e.g. Mutt is... a
big no-no? Instead, should I always force Mutt to go through
the local IMAP server?
Many thanks in advance,
-d
