Probably I'll try it again. This was my favourite tool. But then I check
that there is no change in the repository since very long. I was worried
if this is still maintained or not.
Maybe it is stable :-)
I use getmail to pull my personal (self hosted) inbox, and my GMail
account forwards to that. So it all funnels to my laptop, where I file
it.
However, that means your email isn't in the upstream IMAP mail tree,
which may make accessing it otherwise (eg on a phone) tricky. My
personal hack for this is to have a distinct IMAP account for the phone,
and my filing system forwards important stuff to that as it is seen. And
my mutt "F" macro (normally flag-message) flags the message and also
forwards a copy to the phone mailbox.
Offlineimap seems to work (according to what I hear on the offlineimap
list; I keep meaning to give it a proper try), which is good for keeping
the IMAP folders and your local folder in sync.
Regarding offlineimap quitting, had you considered running it as a cron
job in once-off mode?
