consolidating repositories, etc.

[Dave Abrahams]

Currently, my offlineimap config has 

  - 6 "repositories":
    - referring to my local Maildir:
        - BoostProLocal
        - BoostProLocalReadOnly
    - referring to my work IMAP:
        - BoostProRemote
        - ArchiveRemote
        - BoostProRemoteSpam
    - referring to my personal GMail:
        - PersonalGMailRemote
  4 "accounts":
    - BoostPro:       BoostProLocal        <->        BoostProRemote
    - ArchiveSync:    BoostProLocal        <->        ArchiveRemote
    - Spam:           BoostProLocalReadOnly =>        BoostProRemoteSpam
    - PersonalGMail:  BoostProLocal        <->        PersonalGMailRemote

I'd like to consolidate these a bit.  For one thing, offlineimap makes
my fan run a bit too much for my tastes, and I hope that by reducing the
threading I could make it more efficient.

The best I think I can do is:

  - 4 "repositories":
    - referring to my local Maildir:
        - BoostProLocal
        - BoostProLocalReadOnly (read-only)
    - referring to my work IMAP:
        - BoostProRemote (includes old ArchiveRemote and BoostProRemoteSpam)
    - referring to my personal GMail:
        - PersonalGMailRemote
  3 "accounts":
    - BoostPro:       BoostProLocal        <->        BoostProRemote
    - Spam:           BoostProLocalReadOnly =>        BoostProRemoteSpam
    - PersonalGMail:  BoostProLocal        <->        PersonalGMailRemote

I was hoping to reduce these even further; If there was a per-folder
read-only option I could get rid of the separate account for Spam.  I

So, two questions:

1. Any suggestions for further consilation?

2. Is there a way to migrate synchronization data to avoid
   re-synchronizing my very large Archive folder?

Thanks,
