Installed 2.1 from source > I don't know what offlinemap is and what is has to do with biff notification. offlineimap sync two different imap accounts. ,----[from offlineimap wiki] | OfflineIMAP is a tool to simplify your e-mail reading. With OfflineIMAP, | you can read the same mailbox from multiple computers. You get a current | copy of your messages on each computer, and changes you make one place | will be visible on all other systems. For instance, you can delete a | message on your home computer, and it will appear deleted on your work | computer as well. OfflineIMAP is also useful if you want to use a mail | reader that does not have IMAP support, has poor IMAP support, or does | not provide disconnected operation. `---- > Verify the following: > > 1.
