One of the reasons for using offlineimap (& co.) is to provide much
quicker access to your emails. Given the non-threaded nature of Emacs,
every time you try to access emails to/from an external (IMAP) server,
Emacs will hang. For those that have a single Emacs instance running,
this can be quite annoying. Having emails stored locally via
offlineimap or mbsync gives you direct and fast access.
My solution to this is to have 2 Emacs instances running always, one for
email and the other for everything else.
