That looks incredibly complicated compared to gnus which supports really
fast and good direct imap connections. Offlineimap and then serving up
as maildir can get really messy if you have more than one gmail
account. Obviously if you want a local email cache offline imap is great
combined with something like a local dovecot - I had this setup for a
while until I started to consider the possible ramifications of losing
my laptop and my entire lifes emails being present on that hard drive ;)
The other issue being the plainttext storage of your gmail password
although I believe there must be some way of obfuscating that. Gnus and
its use of .gpg auth files is pretty reassuring.
