This is excellent. I was using Mailsync[1] at some point, but it was
modifying some flags, so I had started writing a replacement in Perl,
but never finished.

I decided to use IMAP when I was connected (can be slow behind PPP) or
rsync'ed folders in read-only mode in other cases, which actually worked
pretty well for me.

I am really glad somebody did write this, that was probably the program
I really wanted. It is going to make my life much easier.

I have compiled Mutt 1.3.13 (the latest version, which supports the
Trashed flag for maildir folders needed for message deletion),
compiled isync 0.4, have quickly written a configuration file which
looks like:

# IMAP SSH tunnel
Host localhost
Port 1430

# Folders
Mailbox /home/hugo/mail/INBOX
Alias INBOX
Box mail/INBOX

[..]

and I ran some tests, and it worked! Woohoo!

Mutt auto-detects the type of folder, I just have now to change my
syncmail script to use isync instead of rsync.
