OfflineIMAP \- Powerful IMAP/Maildir synchronization and reader support
.TP
\fBWhat platforms does OfflineIMAP run on?\fR
It should run on most platforms supported by Python, which are quite a
-few.
+few. I do not support Windows myself, but some have made
+it work there; see the FAQ entry for that platform.

\fBI'm using Mutt. Other IMAP sync programs require me to use "set maildir_trash=yes". Do I need to do that with OfflineIMAP?\fR
No. \fBOfflineIMAP\fR is smart enough to figure out message deletion without this extra

+\fBCan I use OfflineIMAP on Windows?\fR
+These answers have been reported by \fBOfflineIMAP\fR
+users. I do not run \fBOfflineIMAP\fR on Windows myself, so
+I can't directly address their accuracy.
+
+The basic answer is that it's possible and doesn't
+require hacking \fBOfflineIMAP\fR source code. However,
+it's not necessarily trivial. The information below is
+based in instructions submitted by Chris Walker.
+
+First, you must run \fBOfflineIMAP\fR in the Cygwin <URL:http://www.cygwin.com/>
+environment.
+
+Next, you'll need to mount your Maildir directory in a
+special way. There is information for doing that at
+ <URL:http://barnson.org/node/view/295>.
+That site gives this example:
+
+.nf
+mount -f -s -b -o managed "d:/tmp/mail" "/home/of/mail"
+
+.fi
+
+That URL also has more details on making OfflineIMAP
+work with Windows.
