OfflineIMAP is a tool to simplify your e-mail reading. With OfflineIMAP, you can read the same mailbox from 
multiple computers. You get a current copy of your messages on each computer, and changes you make one place 
will be visible on all other systems. For instance, you can delete a message on your home computer, and it 
will appear deleted on your work computer as well. OfflineIMAP is also useful if you want to use a mail reader 
that does not have IMAP support, has poor IMAP support, or does not provide disconnected operation.

OfflineIMAP works on pretty much any POSIX operating system, such as Linux, BSD operating systems, MacOS X, 
Solaris, etc.

OfflineIMAP is a Free Software project licensed under the GNU General Public License. You can download it for 
free, and you can modify it. In fact, you are encouraged to contribute to OfflineIMAP, and doing so is fast 
and easy.

For more information on OfflineIMAPâs featureset, see the OfflineIMAP manual (link below).
