Ah yes, IMAP raises its head again. I wouldn't trust me to code

Well, I once suggested we should either write a backend for Offline IMAP,
or implement it on our own. See it here:

Interesting. Looks active, as I see commits today.
So, is the basic idea to have the user interface to nmh operate
via all the same nmh commands and present a folder view to the
user.? But, the message storage would move into an IMAP form,
possibly manipulated by OfflineIMAP? If so, it sounds like nmh
could need a lot of refactoring to funnel the nmh <--> IMAP
interchanges through the smallest reasonable number of functions.
A companion set of functions could be maintained to continue with
the MH storage format.
Thanks for the reference....
