Out of curiosity:

How's connman working for you? Do you have a GUI for it, or just CLI?

Does isync support IDLE? offlineimap has quite a few bugs and I can't wait to change it (I've a very similar mutt+offlineimap+notmuch+opensmtpd setup).

Connman is fantastic. Mind that it is used by Android and Jolla. I'm very happy with it. Super fast and robust, miles ahead wicd, networkmanager or netctl.

I use it from the CLI, but there are some QT GUIs around.

Isymc doesn't support IDLE, but its fast enough to be able to run it every 2 o 3 min. Ask in the mailing list thou, they had some discussions about implementing it.

Check mutt-kz too, soon it will replace mutt+notmuch.

I was aware of Jolla using it (I've a Jolla phone), but didn't know about android. That adds some pretty important backing to it.

I don't generally dislike cli, but using I've never felt comfortable using it for networking. I like the popup notifications when I get disconnected, and the very visual menus, for some reason. I'll try to give it a try though.

FWIW, mutt-kz has pretty good notmuch support. At least as much as I've needed.
