Thanks for explaining.
Yesterday I spent a couple of hours to search for more details about
*sup*, *notmuch* and *offlineimap*.
What I still have not completely understood is how *sup* is going to
store label information inside Maildir sources.
According to this message
(http://lists.madduck.net/pipermail/mailtags/2007-August/msg00016.html),
IMAP tags would not be perfect (even if probably the best solution in
my opinion).
Another problem is that is not completely clear if *offlineimap* would
sync also these "special" tags.

If ruby libraries don't support some feature that you need, it would
be reasonable to drop IMAP support.
However if the only problem is the speed, I would keep it, at least for now.

Therefore the only possible solution seems to have a personal server
running 24/7 and using *sup* via *ssh*.
