- k2enemy 5y agoI switched to mbsync from offlineimap about four years ago. I was having issues with offlineimap hanging during sync, as well as slow performance in general. I switched to mbsync and have had zero issues since. Just set it and forget it.
- zadwang 5y agombsync tends to be more efficient and robust. With Gmail it has no problems. With outlook IMAP it has problems with some emails occasionally. I haven’t figured out how to sync Maildir with Office365 other than cloud-mdir-sync which is inefficient for large mail boxes.
- unhammer 5y agoI switched from offlineimap to mbsync. I can't remember the details, but I remember having lots of various issues with offlineimap but I can't remember any issues with mbsync other than once I think I had to change something in my config after an upgrade.
