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: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2007-August/024841.html continued at: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2008-May/030688.html ) 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?
