I switched from IMAP to maildir via offlineimap. So much faster!

How are people using offlineimap? Is it always running, or by cron, or in a
before-poll?

  I run mine from cron.
  
  Having said that offlineimap causes me a great deal of pain; when it works it
  works well but when it doesn't (which is fairly often) it's a pain. Oh and it
  won't tell you what the problem is :-( Unfortunately there doesn't really
  seem to be much else about
  
  Just my two cents.

    I haven't tried offlineimap yet.  I'm using getmail right now, which has
    gone really smooth.  What advantages does offlineimap provide for the
    sup crowd (there shouldn't be any changes to the maildir to push back to
    the imap account, right?)

      No changes yet. I'd like to get sup at least marking messages as read in
      maildir sources.

    Yeah, I don't think I've seen any error messages... just backtraces.
    
    The only big problem I've had is with a memory error when copying large
    messages. The problem is known [1] and fixed [2] in Python, but the current
    stable version (2.5.2) doesn't include the fix.
    
    I made the two one-line changes myself and now offlineimap is happy:

  I tend to ssh into wherever I run sup and run screen. I've set screen
  up to start sup and kick off offlineimap. Works like a charm. That way
  you can poke offlineimap if you want to poll for some reason.
  
  Works well from cron as well on my work machine.
