Comparison with offlineimap

Open wilhelmy opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

I'm currently trying to decide between offlineimap, imapfw and mbsync/isync.

As such, a comparison between all three of them would be nice to help people decide, but is probably out of scope here - but since you're familiar with at least offlineimap and imapfw and slightly competing against your previous stable software here: how does offlineimap compare to imapfw, and what's the status, what's supported by each one of them and what isn't, and so on. Is there an overview somewhere?

imapfw is definitely not ready. It's still very early stage.

For a full comparison between offlineimap and mbsync I have no idea and I'm not aware of something like that available on the web.

Some users have more success with offlineimap, some other with mbsync. I've read comments that users tend to find that mbsync is faster than offlineimap. OTOH, offlineimap is more flexible.

You might like to try both.

I found offlineimap is better that it support Windows. I cannot make mbsync to support Windows.
