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. -- : Eric S Fraga, GnuPG: 0xC89193D8FFFCF67D : in Emacs 24.3.50.1 + Ma Gnus v0.8 + evil 1.0-dev : BBDB version 3.02 ($Date: 2013/04/13 13:39:40 $)
