The intended purpose of pluto was to be a highly available IMAP server. I guess you question refers more towards using a crdt to sync the state between a mobile imap client (with offline capabilities) and an IMAP server, like pluto. We currently have not touched this part of the synchronization, i.e. the one between client and server. However, I'am confident that the underlying IMAP-CRDT is capable of what you want to achieve. If you are interested, you should have a look at our scientific paper where we describe the mechanics of the CRDT in detail: http://drops.dagstuhl.de/opus/volltexte/2018/8645/pdf/LIPIcs-OPODIS-2017-23.pdf If you allow me one last comment, the IMAP-CRDT is designed to allow any number of participants, i.e. servers. The offline problem that you are working on is essentially a communication between two peers; the client and the server, right? In that case using a crdt might be a little bit of overkill and you probably want to look for further solutions (e.g. couchdb, sharedb, automerge?). Have a great day, Tim & the pluto people :) — You are receiving this because you were mentioned.
