As a matter of fact, I did. I need to have access to my emails offline,
hence my choice of using OfflineIMAP. OfflineIMAP docs say imap -> imap
sync is still experimental. Moreover I looked at setting up dovecot,
the configuration seemed non-trivial. Also since for search I was
looking at notmuch, maildirs seemed to fit the bill best. This also
allows me to write simple scripts for things like notification.
