But I can share my setup. I use Evolution on my laptop, I don't know if it is "efficient" but it works for online/offline very well [and with "Copy folder content locally for offline operations" I can search mail - and attachments - along with all other documents - with Beagle].

While I don't use fetchmail to aggregate mail currently I have in the past and don't see anything unreasonable about doing so. Sometimes arraigning for inbound SMTP is either not feasible or just expensive. > I then use mutt to read the maildir. > This way I use a normal IMAP client when I'm online (or have a fast > connection).

Yep, I used fetchmail to pull mail into a Cyrus server on a network that only had Inet connectivity over a cell connection [that required a 30ft. tower and high-gain antenna in order to get even that]. > To me using offlineimap to sync my mailbox I much faster than doing > IMAP over slow links.

I've moved by Cyrus server to a hosted VM at linnode and I'm currently just rsync'ing to a local physcial box for backup. But that kind of stinks. ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
