I don't know this 'offlineimap' package you describe, but the common solution to the problem you describe is to use an IMAP mail provider, and a mail client that supports offline IMAP. This is not the same as the tool you just mentioned! When you check mail after reading mail offline, the read flags, deletions, and other changes are synchronised with those stored on the IMAP server.
KMail, Evolution and Thunderbird all support it*.
This is the solution I use. Add the iPod to the list. As well as the Mac. And my Nokia telephone. There is an imapd proxy that can route things when needed. The possible advantage of offlineimap is that it can perhaps be more automatic. All theses e-mail readers will only have a copy if you ran them while connected. Perhaps offlineimap does a push so the sometimes-offline devices get the mail by virtue of being connected and not require you start the client e-mail reader? That would be interesting to know. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
