Semantics of syncing

[Nikolai Weibull <offlineimap@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would like to use offlineimap to basically copy messages from my local
folders to a remote imap server.  How exactly do I set this up.  How
exactly does syncing work?  I'm a bit worried that messages that don't
exist remotely will be removed you see.
