Seems as I would have to do so. From the offlineimap man-page:
USE WITH KMAIL
At this time, I believe that OfflineIMAP with Maildirs is not compati-
ble with KMail. KMail cannot work in any mode other than to move all
messages out of all folders immediately, which (besides being annoying
and fundamentally broken) is incompatible with OfflineIMAP.
However, I have made KMail version 3 work well with OfflineIMAP by
installing an IMAP server on my local machine, having OfflineIMAP sync
to that, and pointing KMail at the same server.
Maybe this gets me switched to mutt, finally. But I don't like mutt's
way of message composition (I hate vi, and running emacs21 from within
mutt only made trouble for me when I last tried it...).
Thanks anyway for the suggestions.
