As I recently changed my imap downloading tool choice from offlineimap to mbsync, and because the word on the street (where with “street” I mean “random discussion forums on the internet”) is that mbsync is generally faster than offlineimap, I wanted to run a small test to measure the difference. Methods For this test, I re-synchronized the exact same subset of my IMAP folders, totalling about 11000 emails, which together occupy about 2GB on disc.
