Thunderbird takes hours to sync for offline use the mail archive, and makes mistakes not storing this or that post - I notice when those missing posts are those I need. So no, Thunderbird offline storage is not a valid solution.
Unfortunately, here, I can confirm from personal experience that Carlos is correct. (Not "unfortunately" because I don't want to agree with Carlos! "Unfortunately" because I like Thunderbird -- it's my favourite MUA.) I can't use T'bird for my personal mail any more, because just 1 day isn't long enough for it to sync with my 90% full 13-year-old Gmail account. I have considered learning enough Python to write a sort of "rsync for IMAP", because I too have seen the unreliable synching issue. Mails are present in Gmail but missing in T'bird because for some reason T'bird doesn't retrieve them. Threads get broken, attachments aren't there. Moving messages between folders leaves large gaps where hundreds, thousands, of messages get missed. However, I had not considered running multiple local IMAP servers as a way round it. That does seem over the top.
A tablet?
:-D As a confirmed laptop enthusiast, I bought a Chuwi Hi9 Air back in June before a planned hospital stay. I use it more than I thought I would. Cheap, high spec, sharp screen, dual SIM plus µSD slot. -- Liam Proven - Technical Writer, SUSE Linux s.r.o.
