</div>I used to use a simular setup for FreeBSD: home is shared, but OS<br>
and port versions could be different. Had no problems with that, but<br>
switched to use offlineimap from the Git repository (to eat own dog's<br>
food).<br>

</div>If you have some shared/synchronized piece of filesystem between them,<br>
you can try to use offlineimap from Git repository: do<br>
{{{<br>
git clone git://<a href="http://github.com/OfflineIMAP/offlineimap.git" target="_blank">github.com/OfflineIMAP/offlineimap.git</a><br>
}}}<br>
set up some wrappers to call offlineimap from that directory and put<br>
them to some directory in $PATH (most likely, $HOME/bin will go). Be<br>
sure to do 'git pull' from time to time in the directory you checked<br>
out the sources to.<br>
<br>
However, it will be interesting to know the exact offlineimap versions<br>
that redownload the whole thing on your systems. OS versions will be<br>
interesting too.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
