I noticed Gmail does it that way in their IMAP interface (archive on no
other labels), thats why I did it. I guess it doesn't matter all that
much as long as we are all using Sup. Archive becomes a place for the
uncategorized. I don't delete an email from archive if it is already in
there, so if it at some point has been copied in there - it stays.

Copy is hard-link, but I doubt offlineimap is able to identify remote
identical emails. So hard-linking is only on the machine that the
link happened on.
