Hi,

I've been searching for solution either. offlineimap some time ago got sqlite
backend for status database. This drastically reduces amount of data to be
written on every single message sync ;) I managed to reach 152k of messages and
started searching for solution, you managed to reach 200k.

[Account foobar]
status_backend = sqlite

sqlite as backend for status database solved my problems so far and sync started
to run much faster (speed is comparable to empty local repository). I'll make it
running for some time and will start searching for other solutions if necessary.

I'm using offlineimap-6.3.4 at the moment.

Regards,

m.
