It's pretty easy to develop a new local backend, it's all pretty
object-oriented with a few functions to develop (save mail, get mail,
delete mail mostly :)). Personally, I have no use for CouchDB, but I am
sure some people would be pretty excited about it.

I'd review patches if there were some. All you need is copy:
folder/Maildir.py and repository/Maildir.py to CouchDB.py and replace
some functions.

Sounds like couchDB would obliviate the need for OfflineImap, as the
purpose of OfflineImap is to sync and replicate.
