I understand your POV. However, all of the historical/regular
contributors to offlineimap and I know that the offlineimap code base is
delicate.

Please read these blog posts:

- http://www.offlineimap.org/configuration/2016/01/29/why-i-m-not-using-maxconnctions.html
- http://www.offlineimap.org/development/2015/04/04/planning-deep-refactoring.html
- http://www.offlineimap.org/development/2015/10/08/imapfw-is-made-public.html

offlineimap won't be updated to support Py3. We've tried. We've failed.
More than once.

offlineimap will die with the coming death of py2.

Do you think this worth the efforts? I don't think so. I want to focus
on imapfw ASAP (likely something like mid/end of 2019).
