Mm I don't see why you would have two copies, if offlineimap is
bidirectional and if gnus is not behaving too crazily the changes you do
to your Maildir will be also written on the remote imap server.
Is that correct?
Another way is to have an imap server running locally on the machine and
that should be even easier...
