This is exactly what I mean. It's a great thing to have if you're taking your 
laptop with you on some trip. Or even just to avoid using fetchmail for the 
normal modem user.

I agree that this is the only reasonable approach for the local cache.

Yes. Otherwise you can't spend your time reading mail on the train.

Is this necessary? The flags on messages already provides what is needed. I 
just need to change the deletion of files so it just flags deleted (which 
will be nice for reading threaded mail also) and then delete them when 
syncing.

OTOH, it would be much more flexible to have a command list for the server 
when we're copying or moving or ... mails around.
