Sure: /usr/ports/mail/offlineimap But there's one caveat though! offlineimap does a symmetric synchronization between both sides. If you play around with your local copy, and delete some messages there, offlinemap will also delete the corresponding messages on your ISPs IMAP server (unless you delete the metadata before), which may not exactly be what you want. I've been there the first time and I've been bitten by this once... but I'm using this now for regular backups and sychronizations between multiple IMAP hosts, both mobile and fixed.
