offlineimap - where hast thou been?

So after years of prodding, I finally started using offlineimap (as packaged in Ubuntu Multiverse).

Wow! Very cool, very powerful. I can't believe I delayed using this for so long. Managing 000's of messages is now much easier - especially on the road.

Support your local Debian Hacker

If you are able, you should support your local Debian hacker, lest he falls fowlfoul and have to resort to other means of paying for his beer.

And it would be a good test to the financial viability of an individual working on free software. Even if most starving hackers are not as famous as AJ. There's plenty of people I know who'd like AJ's little experiment to succeed - showing that career nirvana - developing free software with the freedom to scratch your own particular itch - is possible and is sustainable.

Go AJ, go!
