- 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 your 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.
