What I expected is, IMAP cached mails could be viewed by mutt when
Internet is not available. this function could be enabled when body cache
is enabled.
maybe this could be a possible solution:
1) cache message bodies in Maildir format
2) switching IMAP mode to read (read-only)local caches when internet is
disabled. (or an control option could also be used in the .muttrc)
this is just a simple description what I am thinking about, there may have
a much better solution.
I wonder such a IMAP function is just because sometime or somewhere we
want to review our old mails but Internet is not available unfortunately.
I knew here is a script named offlineIMAP could a similar thing,
but I think it is somewhat not elaborate and a little ugly to use a python
script to do such a function in parallel with mutt. so I wish the function
involved in the mutt's future release.
