How's that? AFAIK, every client would try to get an server "copy" each
time I would access a folder/mail. If I used kmail and read my mail, and
then later I used mutt, then I would need to get back online to read the
mail again... right? Or for that matter, i would only need to close kmail
and then open it again, and all my imap mail would be gone, and I would
have no change but to resync again...

[yes, I've already read the posts about offlineimap, but I wanted to reply
to this one first]
