As a long-time user of gnus with imap my only complaints are the
inability to work offline and the relatively poor sorting rules of my
web-mail imap servers.  It sounds like dovecot and offline-imap could
solve both of these problems.

Was the offline-imap/dovecot combo difficult to configure?

Are there perhaps online instructions to which you could direct me?
FWIW I also use Arch as my OS.

Thanks,
