My understanding is that IMAP is not supported any more by sup (I've
never used IMAP sources, so I could be wrong about this).
I use both Gmail and MS Exchange with sup, using fetchmail and
maildrop to fetch the mail and store it locally. (I use msmtp to
send mail.)
I tried offlineimap for a while. I know it's popular, but I abandoned
it because I was having problems with messages being moved from one
maildir to another. I was definitely having this problem with
Exchange, and it seemed to be related to deleted messages. I can't
remember if I was having this problem with Gmail; probably not.
In any case, fetchmail and maildrop seem very solid. They don't give
you the ability to sync changes back to the IMAP server, but I never
needed that feature, and my understanding is that sup doesn't quite
support that yet anyway (or maybe it's experimental?).
