I wonder why backblazeb2.com is registered with GoDaddy but backblaze.com with Enom...

Gaming is also one of the main reasons why I still have a Windows box. However, thanks to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton, this might be less of a problem in the future.

I think the first thing is to realize that this is normal. Whenever you start something that is outside of your comfort zone, you will most likely feel discomfort. So, trying to get rid of something that is normal won't really work :) However, what you can do is change the way you look at this discomfort. Ask yourself where it is coming from. Are you maybe afraid that you will fail? Once you see what causes the anxiety, you can start seeing it for what it is: just a feeling that comes and goes.

I have just checked how much it uses on my side: doesn't go above 50%, but I do consider that pretty high and can totally understand how it could use 100% with bigger mailboxes. For me, this was never a problem since I only run it once daily for backup.

Thank you for mentioning mbsync, I will keep it in mind.

Are you using the OfflineIMAP SQLite driver? If not, the maintainers did say it was more performant and reliable than using text files which was the default before version 7.

What is the difference between the GitHub version and the paid version on the website?

OfflineIMAP is not a graphical email client. It is simply a tool with which you can either backup emails from your provider using IMAP or sync a local Maildir with your provider. The tool uses the Maildir email format. More information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maildir

I don't think imapfw is widely adopted yet, it seems to be work in progress so most people probably opt for the more stable predecessor OfflineIMAP.

> headers in HTTP/2 are compressed using HPACK which negates the issue you mention

You are right, my statement is not correct. It certainly does not completely negate the overhead of additional headers. It does greatly reduce it though. So far, I have only heard of compression inefficiency being a real problem when not concatenating. Do you have some examples of header overhead actually being a real issue? Would be happy to update the post.
