I haven't gotten offlineimap working yet, but am not convinced that
"any changes you do on the local end get changed on the server."
I looked at the website for offlineimap and it looks to me as if it is
saying that if you create a new mail folder locally, it will not
create it on the server.  Since I sometimes make new mailfolders on my
machine, this might be a problem for me.  Am I correct about this?
