+isync is a command line application which synchronizes mailboxes; currently
+Maildir and IMAP4 mailboxes are supported. New messages, message deletions
+and flag changes can be propagated both ways. isync is suitable for use in
+IMAP-disconnected mode.
+
+Synchronization is based on unique message identifiers (UIDs), so
+no identification conflicts can occur (as opposed to some other mail
+synchronizers). Synchronization state is kept in one local text file per
+mailbox pair; multiple replicas of a mailbox can be maintained.
+
+See README.SLACKWARE for setup information after installation.
