offlineimap / uw-imapd / mutt

[Sam Clegg <sam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all.
I am a very happy user of offlineimap.  In fact I use it every 5 minutes
to sync ~80 mail folders to my laptop.

On the server I use uw-imapd and procmail to sort incomming mail into
mbox files.  On my laptop I can read and write mail to the offline 
Maildir hierarchy without any problems.   

However, when I ssh directly into the server to read my mail with mutt
(when I don't have my laptop with me) the offlineimap.uidvalidity
files for the folders that mutt writes messages to are corrupted the
next time I try to sync.

Is this normal?  Am I not supposed to manipulate directly (with mutt)
my mail folders on the server?  Procmail seems to be able to write to
these folders without upsetting offlineimap?  Perhaps this because 
I am using mbox and uw-imapd on the server.

Any help?  Should I switch to a different mta/imapd on the server?
Anyone know of a good comparison on the various imapds in debian?

cheers,
sam
