Hello,

I've been using offlineimap to backup email account. It is great for sync. But I am looking for a tool to backup and allow me to browse locally without internet the backup, including the attachments.

Does that tool exist?

Thank you!

Edit: I did not understand fully how offlineimap worked. So the solution for me is keep using offlineimap to schedule backups of all my accounts. Then, whenever I need it, create a local folder on Thunderbird to browse the emails.
