+Someone wrote a fork of offlineimap to store mail in couchdb [1]. The\r
+same couchdb can be mounted with fuse as a maildir [2] for mutt.\r
+According to the author [3], the fuse interface is read only. Assuming\r
+your proposal was implemented, one could complete this work with an\r
+interface to couchdb for offlineimap and get all the features\r
+previously requested.\r
