Although I think Gerard likes to see both servers active at the same time, I think the (master-slave kind) synchronisation would be a nice thing to start with. On the other hand, if I see what offlineimap can do, I assume it must be possible with just 2 servers to synchronise folders in a proper way (when keeping some history and logs on both sides, of course...), am I wrong? (This looks again a bit like bi-directional synchronisation as with unison, instead of master->slave think as with rsync or so.)
I'm not familiar with what offlineimap does, but it isn't possible to have two servers syncing "in unison" without some user interaction to resolve conflicts when they occur after a network partition.
Obviously a master/slave situation is much easier to achieve.
