Package: offlineimap (5.99.8~bpo40+1) [backports]

IMAP/Maildir synchronization and reader support

OfflineIMAP is a tool to simplify your e-mail reading. With OfflineIMAP, you can:

 * Read the same mailbox from multiple computers, and have your
   changes (deletions, etc.) be automatically reflected on
   all computers

 * Use various mail clients to read a single mail box

 * Read mail while offline (on a laptop) and have all changes
   synchronized when you get connected again

 * Read IMAP mail with mail readers that do not support IMAP

 * Use SSL (secure connections) to read IMAP mail even if your reader
   doesn't support SSL

 * Synchronize your mail using a completely safe and fault-tolerant
   algorithm.  (At least I think it is!)

 * Customize which mailboxes to synchronize with regular expressions
   or lists.

 * Synchronize your mail two to four times faster than with other tools
   or other mail readers' internal IMAP support.

In short, OfflineIMAP is a tool to let you read mail how YOU want to.
