This is likely to be borderline subjective, but I am searching for good alternatives for command line IMAP to maildir clients: Currently I am using offlineimap, but the docs are lacking, and support is vaning, what is a good alternative to offlineimap that has IDLE support, is fast and mature (does not loose e-mails). Ideally it should synchronize maildir flags (and gmail labels, but can't get everything). I know of:

  • Since you wrote gmailieer, can you tell me why you would like to use offlineimap instead for gmail? I am using offlineimap and notmuch too, but I'm having a lot of trouble with labels and deletion. – user128063 Jul 02 '20 at 02:23
  • I wrote gmailieer after asking this question, starting the same day. I use it still. – gauteh Jul 03 '20 at 05:35

Nice solution is gmailieer. It doesn't use IMAP but GMail API. Synchronize gmail labels with notmuch database. So it is useful only with e-mail clients with notmuch support. Gmailieer itself do not have api permission to delete Your messages from GMail. So it depends what are Your needs and email client You're using.
