Right. We could split it in two manuals like

  offlineimap(1)
  offlineimap_tips(7)

For the configuration file I'd rather another manual page

  offlineimap_conf(5)

IMHO, the API docs should stay as text file in the repository and the
FAQ should be cleaned by setting part of the documentation in the above
manuals.
