Mutt to the rescue

I've gotten tired of switching between GMail, Thunderbird, and Apple Mail. For some things, GUI mail readers are great, but I feel like I'm missing out on the power and speed of text-based MUAs.

Mutt (and friends) to the rescue! Here are the components I've glued together:

Here are some configuration snippets:

$ cat .offlineimaprc
[general]
accounts = Work

[Account Work]
localrepository = Local
remoterepository = Remote

# You can have offlineimap continue running indefinately, automatically
# syncing your mail periodically. If you want that, specify how
# frequently to do that (in minutes) here. You can also specify
# fractional minutes (ie, 3.25).

autorefresh = 10

postsynchook = nmzmail -i ~/Mail

[Repository Local]
type = Maildir
localfolders = ~/Mail

[Repository Remote]
#type = Gmail
type = IMAP
ssl = yes
remotehost = imap.gmail.com
remoteuser = myname

For some reason, offlineimap crashes when I run it in multi-threaded mode, so here is how I keep my INBOX in sync:

offlineimap -1 -f INBOX
