I have offlineimap sync from remote imap to local dovecot, where dovecot
is setup to put my mail in ~/.maildb/GMAIL in a maildir++ format. This
location can be changed to suit your wishes by changing dovecot's
mail_location setting, e.g., my in set to:

 mail_location = maildir:%h/.maildb/GMAIL:LAYOUT=maildir++

My offlineimaprc syncing from several remote hosts to local dovecot can
be found here[0]. notmuch is called from the appropriate postsynchook.
My notmuch-config can be found here[1]. I only use notmuch via
notmuch-mutt[2], so the above configs might not work if you want
notmuch-{emacs,vim}.

Hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions.

Ryan
