FWIW, I am still seeing something similar to this with 5.99.13,
though arguably, it's not offlineimap's fault. A Maildir with 150k
messages takes several days to sync (using dovecot) and will make
the server's imapd process consume more than 800Mb of RAM as it maps
the index:

  (See this thread:

Could offlineimap somehow be seeded? I imagine that copying its
working database files along with the Maildir in question might
work, but given that the hostname is used in the filenames, I am not
sure this is a good approach.

Ideally, I'd be able to say:

  look, offlineimap, there's a tarball from another machine over
  here, Maildirs and database, will ya please seed your own store
  with that before hitting the network for the first time?

Cheers,
