offlineimap sounds very interesting.  Assuming it works with Exchange,
does it play nicely with Gnus?  Does Gnus support Maildir format?  I
can't imagine that it doesn't.

Do you use offlineimap?  If so, some quick questions before I delve more
deeply into the manual.  offlineimap will dump my IMAP folders into a
Maildir equivalent.  I assume, then, that I use split rules on the
Maildir folders to split my messages as I see fit.  offlineimap will
then sync what I've done so that my IMAP servers see where I put my
messages?
