Mutt

A while ago I switched to Mutt for all of my email needs. I have a mix of regular IMAP accounts and a few Gmail powered accounts set up. The Gmail accounts have always been a thorn in my side due to an early misconception I had about the All Mail folder and archiving. Below is my initial problem, solution and what I found to be the consistent behaviour of a Mutt + Gmail setup.

Recently I've been running into an issue when using OfflineImap to get my email. It took me a while to track down a solution to this problem so I figured a quick post was in order for future reference for myself and others. Below is a description of the problem, how it came about after working fine initially and the solution found.

With cron being depreciated in OSX a few versions ago, the proper way to run a script at set intervals is with Launchd. Below is just a quick setup for getting Offlineimap to run every 2 minutes to refresh your local email folders.
