Are you running a server for syncing your tags? My problem is the following: I have 3 machines E, B and C of which none is always up and running. I would like to be able to sync my email on any of the machines with offlineimap (but always only with one syncing) and to transfer what's missing to the others, once I switch the currently used machine.
