# Offlineimap sample configuration file
# This file documents *all* possible options and can be quite scary.
# Looking for a quick start? Take a look at offlineimap.conf.minimal.
# More details can be found at http://www.offlineimap.org .
##################################################
# Overview
##################################################
# The default configuration file is "~/.offlineimaprc".
#
# Offlineimap ships with a file named "offlineimap.conf" that you should copy to
# that location and then edit.
#
# Offlineimap also ships a file named "offlineimap.conf.minimal" that you can
# also try. It's useful if you want to get started with the most basic feature
# set, and you can read about other features later with "offlineimap.conf".
#
# If you want to be XDG-compatible, you can put your configuration file into
# "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/offlineimap/config".
##################################################
# General definitions
##################################################
# NOTE 1: Settings generally support python interpolation. This means
# values can contain python format strings which refer to other values
# in the same section, or values in a special DEFAULT section. This
# allows you for example to use common settings for multiple accounts:
#
# [Repository Gmail1]
# trashfolder: %(gmailtrashfolder)s
#
# [Repository Gmail2]
# trashfolder: %(gmailtrashfolder)s
#
# [DEFAULT]
# gmailtrashfolder = [Gmail]/Papierkorb
#
# would set the trashfolder setting for your German Gmail accounts.
# NOTE 2: Above feature implies that any '%' needs to be encoded as '%%'
# NOTE 3: Any variable that is subject to the environment variables
# ($NAME) and tilde (~username/~) expansions will receive tilde
# expansion first and only after the environment variable will be
# expanded in the resulting string. This behaviour is intentional
# as it coincides with typical shell expansion strategy.
# NOTE 4: multiple same-named sections.
# The library used to parse the configuration file has known issue when multiple
# sections have the same name. In such case, only the last section is considered.
# It is strongly discouraged to have multiple sections with the same name.
# See https://github.com/OfflineIMAP/offlineimap/issues/143 for more details.

# This variable specifies which accounts are defined. Separate them with commas.
# Account names should be alphanumeric only. You will need to specify one
# section per account below. You may not use "general" for an account name.
#
# Always use ASCII characters only.
#

accounts = Test
# This option stands in the [general] section.
#
# Offlineimap can synchronize more than one account at a time. There are two
# ways to sync accounts concurrently:
#
# 1. By running one offlineimap instance for each account (with the -a CLI
# option). This is the recommended way. In this case, keep the following option
# to 1.
#
# 2. By allowing offlineimap to sync more than one account for an instance (not
# recommended). In this case, set the maxsyncaccounts option to a value greater
# than 1.
#
#maxsyncaccounts = 1
# This option stands in the [general] section.
#
# You can specify one or more user interface. Offlineimap will try the first in
# the list, and if it fails, the second, and so forth.
#
# The pre-defined options are:
# Blinkenlights -- A fancy (terminal) interface
# TTYUI -- a text-based (terminal) interface
# Basic -- Noninteractive interface suitable for cron'ing
# Quiet -- Noninteractive interface, generates no output
# except for errors.
# MachineUI -- Interactive interface suitable for machine
# parsing.
#
# See also offlineimapui(7)
#
# You can override this with a command-line option -u.
#
#ui = basic
# This option stands in the [general] section.
#
# If you try to synchronize messages to a folder which the IMAP server
# considers read-only, Offlineimap will generate a warning. If you want
# to suppress these warnings, set ignore-readonly to yes. Read-only
# IMAP folders allow reading but not modification, so if you try to
# change messages in the local copy of such a folder, the IMAP server
# will prevent Offlineimap from propagating those changes to the IMAP
# server. Note that ignore-readonly is UNRELATED to the "readonly"
# setting which prevents a repository from being modified at all.
#
#ignore-readonly = no
########## Advanced settings
# This option stands in the [general] section.
#
# You can give a Python source filename here and all config file
# python snippets will be evaluated in the context of that file.
# This allows you to e.g. define helper functions in the Python
# source file and call them from this config file. You can find
# an example of this in the manual.
#
# Tilde and environment variable expansions will be performed.
#
#pythonfile = ~/.offlineimap.py
# This option is in the [general] section.
#
# By default, Offlineimap will not exit due to a network error until the
# operating system returns an error code. Operating systems can sometimes take
# forever to notice this. Here you can activate a timeout on the socket. This
# timeout applies to individual socket reads and writes, not to an overall sync
# operation. You could perfectly well have a 30s timeout here and your sync
# still take minutes.
2007-07-06 18:37:58 +02:00
#
# Values in the 30-120 second range are reasonable.
#
# The default is to have no timeout beyond the OS. Times are given in seconds.
#
#socktimeout = 60
2007-07-06 18:37:58 +02:00
# This option stands in the [general] section.
#
# By default, Offlineimap will use fsync() to force data out to disk at
# opportune times to ensure consistency. This can, however, reduce performance.
# Users where /home is on SSD (Flash) may also wish to reduce write cycles.
# Therefore, you can disable Offlineimap's use of fsync(). Doing so will come
# at the expense of greater risk of message duplication in the event of a system
# crash or power loss. Default is true. Set it to false to disable fsync.
#
# SQLite honors this option since v7.0.8+. However, those SQLite improvements
# are still EXPERIMENTAL.
#
#fsync = true

# Mailbox name recorder
##################################################
[mbnames]
# Offlineimap can record your mailbox names in a format you specify.
2002-06-21 08:51:21 +02:00
# You can define the header, each mailbox item, the separator,
# and the footer. Here is an example for Mutt.
# If enabled is yes, all settings except incremental must be specified, even if
# they are just the empty string "".
2002-06-21 08:51:21 +02:00
#
# The header, peritem, sep, and footer are all Python expressions passed
# through eval, so you can (and must) use Python quoting.
#
# The incremental setting controls whether the file is written after each
# account completes or once all synced accounts are complete. This is useful if
# an account is sightly slower than the other. It allows keeping the previous
# file rather than having it partially written.
# This works best with "no" if in one-shot mode started by cron or systemd
# timers. Default: no.
#
# The following hash key are available to the expansion for 'peritem':
# - accountname: the name of the corresponding account;
# - foldername: the name of the folder;
# - localfolders: path to the local directory hosting all Maildir
# folders for the account.
#
# Tilde and environment variable expansions will be performed
# for "filename" knob.
#
#enabled = no
#filename = ~/Mutt/muttrc.mailboxes
#header = "mailboxes "
#peritem = "+%(accountname)s/%(foldername)s"
#sep = " "
#footer = "\n"
#incremental = no
2002-06-21 08:51:21 +02:00
# This option stands in the [mbnames] section.
#
# You can also specify a folderfilter. It will apply to the *translated* folder
# name here, and it takes TWO arguments: accountname and foldername. In all
# other ways, it will behave identically to the folderfilter for accounts.
# Please see the folderfilter option for more information and examples.
#
# This filter can be used only to further restrict mbnames to a subset of
# folders that pass the account's folderfilter.
#
# E.g.: with mbnames_folderfilter defined like this in the python file:
#
# def mbnames_folderfilter(accountname, foldername):
# allowed = {'myaccount': ['folderA', 'folderB']}
# if accountname in allowed:
# return foldername in allowed[accountname]
# return False
#
# For correct folderfilter with Microsoft servers, please see
# http://www.offlineimap.org/doc/FAQ.html#exchange-and-office365
#
#folderfilter = mbnames_folderfilter
# This option stands in the [mbnames] section.
#
# You can customize the order in which mailbox names are listed in the generated
# file by specifying a sort_keyfunc, which takes a single dict argument
# containing keys 'accountname' and 'foldername'. This function will be called
# once for each mailbox, and should return a suitable sort key that defines this
# mailbox' position in the custom ordering.
#
# This is useful with e.g. Mutt-sidebar, which uses the mailbox order from the
# generated file when listing mailboxes in the sidebar.
#
# Default setting is:
#sort_keyfunc = lambda d: (d['accountname'], d['foldername'])

Daniel Jacobowitz patches fixes deb#433732 Date: Sun, 30 Sep 2007 13:54:56 -0400 From: Daniel Jacobowitz <drow@false.org> To: offlineimap@complete.org Subject: Assorted patches Here's the result of a lazy Sunday hacking on offlineimap. Sorry for not breaking this into multiple patches. They're mostly logically independent so just ask if that would make a difference. First, a new -q (quick) option. The quick option means to only update folders that seem to have had significant changes. For Maildir, any change to any message UID or flags is significant, because checking the flags doesn't add a significant cost. For IMAP, only a change to the total number of messages or a change in the UID of the most recent message is significant. This should catch everything except for flags changes. The difference in bandwidth is astonishing: a quick sync takes 80K instead of 5.3MB, and 28 seconds instead of 90. There's a configuration variable that lets you say every tenth sync should update flags, but let all the intervening ones be lighter. Second, a fix to the UID validity problems many people have been reporting with Courier. As discussed in Debian bug #433732, I changed the UID validity check to use SELECT unless the server complains that the folder is read-only. This avoids the Courier bug (see the Debian log for more details). This won't fix existing validity errors, you need to remove the local status and validity files by hand and resync. Third, some speedups in Maildir checking. It's still pretty slow due to a combination of poor performance in os.listdir (never reads more than 4K of directory entries at a time) and some semaphore that leads to lots of futex wake operations, but at least this saves 20% or so of the CPU time running offlineimap on a single folder: Time with quick refresh and md5 in loop: 4.75s user 0.46s system 12% cpu 41.751 total Time with quick refresh and md5 out of loop: 4.38s user 0.50s system 14% cpu 34.799 total Time using string compare to check folder: 4.11s user 0.47s system 13% cpu 34.788 total And fourth, some display fixes for Curses.Blinkenlights. I made warnings more visible, made the new quick sync message cyan, and made all not explicitly colored messages grey. That last one was really bugging me. Any time OfflineIMAP printed a warning in this UI, it had even odds of coming out black on black! Anyway, I hope these are useful. I'm happy to revise them if you see a problem. -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery

# It only synchronizes a folder if
#
# 1) a Maildir folder has changed
#

#
# 2) if an IMAP folder has received new messages or had messages deleted, ie

#
# Specify 0 for never, -1 for always (works even in non-autorefresh mode)

Patch for maxage and maxsize options Dear All, Attached is the patch that I have developed to provide maxage and maxsize options. You can thus sync only the last x days of messages and exclude large messages. All details in the attached git file. Regards, -Mike -- Attached file included as plaintext by Ecartis -- -- File: submit From 04fead2b46a79675a5b29de6f2b4088b9c9448e5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: mike <mike@mikelaptop.(none)> Date: Sun, 16 Aug 2009 17:00:49 +0430 Subject: [PATCH] Patch to provide maxage and maxsize account options to exclude old/large messages This is designed to make offlineimap even better for low bandwidth connections. maxage allows you to specify a number of days and only messages within that range will be considered by offlineimap for the sync. This can be useful if you would like to start using offlineimap with a large existing account and do not want to import large archives of mail. maxsize allows you to specify the maximum size of a message to consider so that you can exclude messages with large attachments etc. In both cases the cachemessagelist function of the folder was modified to ignore messages that do not meet the criteria. If the criteria are not specified then the existing code will be executed the same as before. If a message does not meet the criteria it will be as though this message does not exist - offlineimap will completely ignore it. It will not have flags updated, it will not be deleted, it will not be considered at all. When operating against an IMAP repository a server side search function is used. This of course requires support for server side search. I have tested this with either option, no options etc. against IMAP, Maildir and Gmail. I have run variations of this patch here for the last 3 weeks or so syncing about 4 accounts normally.

#
# maxage enables you to sync only recent messages. There are two ways to specify
# what "recent" means: if maxage is given as an integer, then only messages from
# the last maxage days will be synced. If maxage is given as a date, then only
# messages later than that date will be synced.
#
# Messages older than the cutoff will not be synced, their flags will not be
# changed, they will not be deleted, etc. For Offlineimap it will be like these
# messages do not exist. This will perform an IMAP search in the case of IMAP or
# Gmail and therefore requires that the server support server side searching.
#
# Known edge cases are described in offlineimap(1).
#
# maxage is allowed only when the local folder is of type Maildir. It can't be
# used with startdate.
#
# The maxage option expects an integer (for the number of days) or a date of the

# Maildir file format uses colon (:) separator between uniq name and info.
# Unfortunately colon is not allowed character in windows file name. If you

#
# - X-Keywords use comma (',') as the separator.

# EXPERIMENTAL: This option stands in the [Account Test] section.
#
# IMAP defines an encoding for non-ASCII ("international") characters, and most
# IMAP servers store folder names in this encoding. Note that the IMAP 4rev1
# specification (RFC 3501) allows both UTF-8 and modified UTF-7 folder names
# so it is *possible* that an IMAP server already uses UTF-8 encoded folder
# names. But usually Folders that are shown as, say, "Gäste" will be represented
# as "G&AOQ-ste", and by default will be synchronized like this by offlineIMAP.
#
# This option converts IMAP folder names from IMAP4-UTF-7 to UTF-8 and back
# in order to have nicely readable UTF-8 folder names in the local copy.
#
# WARNING: with this option enabled:
# - compatibility with any other version is NOT GUARANTEED (including newer);
# - existing set-ups will probably break.
# - no support is provided.
#
# IMPORTANT: READ THIS SECTION if you intend to enable this feature for an
# EXISTING ACCOUNT that has already been synchronized!
# Enabling UTF-8 encoded folder names will change many things on the local
# repository of an account, so you really have to create a new local repository
# and review the configuration. The least that would happen otherwise is a
# duplication of all folders containing non-ASCII characters.
# But also the following functionality may change, so the configuration in the
# remote repository configuration has to be reviewed/updated:
# - decodefoldernames
# This option is replaced by utf8foldernames and must be removed
# If both utf8foldernames and decodefoldernames are enabled the synchronization
# for the given account is aborted before doing any changes.
# - nametrans
# With utf8foldernames enabled any nametrans function will operate on the
# UTF-8 encoded folder names, while even with decodefoldernames enabled they
# operate on the original IMAP4-UTF-7 encoded names.
# - folderfilter
# Folder filters still work on the untranslated names before applying a
# nametrans function, but still this operates on the UTF-8 encoded names.
# - folderincludes
# With utf8foldernames enabled this function expects UTF-8 encoded folder
# names.
# - foldersort
# With utf8foldernames enabled the folder names passed to the sorting routine
# will be the UTF encoded names.
# - idlefolders
# With utf8foldernames enabled folders passed to this function are expected to

#
# Be aware that a MITM attack can consist in downgrading the protocol version

#
# XOAUTH2 authentication (for instance, to use with Gmail).
#
# This option was tested on Gmail only, but should work with type = IMAP for
# compatible servers.
#
# For Gmail (and maybe others), XOAUTH2 requires ssl. This means that STARTTLS
# won't work and that Offlineimap will perform certificate validation. IOW, the
# following configuration is used:
# - sslcacertfile: MUST BE correctly configured
# - ssl = yes (optional, will be used anyway)
# - starttls = no (optional, will be tried but won't work anyway)
#
# Mandatory parameters are "oauth2_client_id", "oauth2_client_secret" and
# either "oauth2_refresh_token" or "oauth2_access_token". XOAUTH2 mechanism
# won't be tried if both oauth2_refresh_token and oauth2_access_token are not
# set.
#
# See below to learn how to get those.
#
# Specify the OAuth2 client id and secret to use for the connection..
# Here's how to register an OAuth2 client for Gmail, as of 2017-05-15:
# - Go to the Gmail API overview console
# https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/gmail.googleapis.com/overview
# - Create a new project, name doesn't matter, e.g. 'gmail-sync-bob'
# - In API & Auth, select Credentials
# - Once created, click 'Enable'
# - Click 'Create credentials' in the enabled API overview
# - In 'Add credentials to your project' select 'Gmail API' as the
# API type, and 'Other UI ...' (not 'Other non-UI ...') for
# 'Where will you be calling the API from?'. For 'What data will
# you be accessing?' select 'User data'.
# - Click 'What credentials do I need?'
# - Create an arbitrary 'Create an OAuth 2.0 client ID',
# e.g. 'gmail-sync-bob-client'. For 'Set up the OAuth 2.0 consent
# screen' select an arbitrary 'Product name shown to users',
# e.g. 'gmail-sync-bob-client' & click 'Continue'.
# - This gives you your client ID displayed on the screen. Click
# 'Download' to get a JSON file that also has the client secret.
#
#oauth2_client_id = YOUR_CLIENT_ID
#oauth2_client_secret = YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET
#
# The return values must be bytes.
#oauth2_client_id_eval = get_client_id("accountname")
#oauth2_client_secret_eval = get_client_secret("accountname")
#
# Specify the refresh token to use for the connection to the mail server.
# Here's an example of a way to get a refresh token:
# - Clone this project: https://github.com/google/gmail-oauth2-tools
# - Type the following command-line in a terminal and follow the instructions
# python python/oauth2.py --generate_oauth2_token \
# --client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID --client_secret=YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET
# - Access token can be obtained using refresh token with command
# python python/oauth2.py --user=YOUR_EMAIL --client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID
# --client_secret=YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET --refresh_token=REFRESH_TOKEN
#
# Access tokens have limited lifetimes. If you need access beyond the lifetime
# of a single access token, you should use a refresh token. A refresh token
# allows Offlineimap to obtain new access tokens.
#
# If you want to use a refresh token, make sure you disabled/removed any
# oauth2_access_token option. The access token is downloaded from the URL
# defined in the oauth2_request_url configuration option.
#
# If the type of the remote is IMAP, oauth2_request_url MUST be defined.
# For Gmail, the default URL is https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token.
#
# If you're experiencing issues, please read the "Known issues" section of the
# manual.
#
#oauth2_access_token = ACCESS_TOKEN
#oauth2_request_url = https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token
#oauth2_refresh_token = REFRESH_TOKEN
#
# The returned values must be bytes.
#oauth2_access_token_eval = get_access_token("accountname")
#oauth2_refresh_token_eval = get_refresh_token("accountname")
########## Passwords
# There are six ways to specify the password for the IMAP server:
#
# 1. No password at all specified in the config file.
# If a matching entry is found in ~/.netrc (see netrc (5) for
# information) this password will be used. Do note that netrc only
# allows one entry per hostname. If there is no ~/.netrc file but
# there is an /etc/netrc file, the password will instead be taken
# from there. Otherwise you will be prompted for the password when
# Offlineimap starts when using a UI that supports this.
#
# 2. The remote password stored in this file with the remotepass
# option. Save this file with the UTF-8 encoding if your server expect UTF-8
# encoded password.
#
# Any '%' needs to be encoded as '%%'. Example:
#remotepass = myp%%ssword # Real password is myp%ssword
#
# 3. The remote password stored as a single line in an external file, which is
# referenced by the remotefile option. Must be UTF-8 encoded. Example:
#remotepassfile = ~/Password.IMAP.Account1
#
# 4. With a preauth tunnel. With this method, you invoke an external
# program that is guaranteed *NOT* to ask for a password, but rather
# to read from stdin and write to stdout an IMAP protocol stream that
# begins life in the PREAUTH state. When you use a tunnel, you do
# NOT specify a user or password (if you do, they'll be ignored.)
# Instead, you specify a preauthtunnel, as this example illustrates
# for Courier IMAP on Debian:
#preauthtunnel = ssh -q imaphost '/usr/bin/imapd ./Maildir'
#
# 5. If you are using Kerberos and have the Python gssapi package
# installed, you should not specify a remotepass. If the user has a
# valid Kerberos TGT, Offlineimap will figure out the rest all by
# itself, and fall back to password authentication if needed.
#
# 6. Using arbitrary python code. With this method, you invoke a
# function from your pythonfile. To use this method assign the name
# of the function to the variable 'remotepasseval'. Example:
#remotepasseval = get_password("imap.example.net")
# You can also query for the username:
#remoteusereval = get_username("imap.example.net")
# This method can be used to design more elaborate setups, e.g. by
# querying the gnome-keyring via its python bindings.

########## Advanced settings
# These options stands in the [Repository RemoteExample] section.
#
# Tunnels. There are two types:
#
# - preauth: they teleport your connection to the remote system
# and you don't need to authenticate yourself there; the sole
# fact that you succeeded to get the tunnel running is enough.
# This tunnel type was explained above in the 'Passwords' section.
#
# - transport: the just provide the transport (probably encrypted)
# to the IMAP server, but you still need to authenticate at the
# IMAP server.
#
# Tunnels are currently working only with IMAP servers and their
# derivatives (GMail currently). Additionally, for GMail accounts
# preauth tunnel settings are ignored: we don't believe that there
# are ways to preauthenticate at Google mail system IMAP servers.
#
# You must choose at most one tunnel type, be wise M'Lord!
#
#preauthtunnel = ssh -q imaphost '/usr/bin/imapd ./Maildir'
#transporttunnel = openssl s_client -host myimap -port 993 -quiet
# This option stands in the [Repository RemoteExample] section.
#
# Some IMAP servers need a "reference" which often refers to the "folder root".
#
# This is most commonly needed with UW IMAP, where you might need to specify the
# directory in which your mail is stored. The 'reference' value will be prefixed
# to all folder paths referring to that repository. E.g. accessing folder 'INBOX'
# with "reference = Mail" will try to access Mail/INBOX.
#
# The nametrans and folderfilter functions will apply to the full path,
# including the reference prefix. Most users will not need this.
#
#reference = Mail
# DEPRECATED: This option stands in the [Repository RemoteExample] section.
#
# IMAP defines an encoding for non-ASCII ("international") characters. Enable
# this option if you want to decode them to the nowadays ubiquitous UTF-8.
#
# Note that the IMAP 4rev1 specification (RFC 3501) allows both UTF-8 and
# modified UTF-7 folder names.
#
# This option converts IMAP folder names from IMAP4-UTF-7 to UTF-8.
#
# NOTE/LIMITATION:
# - The reencoding is applied *after* a nametrans function that may be given,
# so it is important to note that nametrans will work on the undecoded
# UTF-7 names.
# - This option only works from a remote IMAP to a local Maildir repository
# - It only works *once*, so it can only be used for one-off backups
# (see https://github.com/OfflineIMAP/offlineimap/issues/299 and especially
# https://github.com/OfflineIMAP/offlineimap/issues/299#issuecomment-331243827)

#
# This feature was merged because it's small changes in the code. However, this
# might seriously decrease the stability of the program. That's why it will
# likely never be marked stable. The approach is: if it works for you, you're
# lucky and you might choose to go for it. If it doesn't, sorry but this feature
# is known to not work in many cases and it's not available to you. Enabling
# this feature might really be a poor choice for the future since it's not
# supported at all and new releases might break the setup.

# This option stands in the [Repository RemoteExample] section.
#
# In between synchronisations, Offlineimap can monitor mailboxes for new
# messages using the IDLE command. If you want to enable this, specify here the
# folders you wish to monitor. IMAP protocol requires a separate connection for
# each folder monitored in this way, so setting this option will force settings
# for:
#
# - maxconnections: to be at least the number of folders you give
# - holdconnectionopen: to be true
# - keepalive: to be 29 minutes unless you specify otherwise
# - singlethreadperfolder: to be true
#
# The presynchook and postsynchook are executed for each new synchronisation per
# folder.
#
# This feature isn't complete and may well have problems. See the "Known Issues"
# entry in the manual for more details.
#
# This option should return a Python list. For example
#

# Offlineimap can use a compressed connection to the IMAP server.
# This can result in faster downloads for some cases.
#
#usecompression = yes
# This option stands in the [Repository RemoteExample] section.
#
# Offlineimap can use multiple connections to the server in order
# to perform multiple synchronization actions simultaneously.
# This may place a higher burden on the server. In most cases,
# setting this value to 2 or 3 will speed up the sync, but in some
# cases, it may slow things down. The safe answer is 1. You should
# probably never set it to a value more than 5.
#
#maxconnections = 2
# This option stands in the [Repository RemoteExample] section.
#
# If you want to ensure that only one single thread is used to synchronize each
# folder, set this to 'yes'. If this is set, only one thread will be used to
# copy messages for each folder, but up to maxconnections threads will be used
# overall, copying different folders in parallel. This option is required to
# download in UIDs order.
#
# If this is unset (the default), then up to maxconnections threads are used
# across all currently syncing folders. This option is sightly recommended in
# IMAP/IMAP mode (no maildir).
#
#singlethreadperfolder = no
# This option stands in the [Repository RemoteExample] section.
#
# Offlineimap normally closes IMAP server connections between refreshes if
# the global option autorefresh is specified. If you wish it to keep the
# connection open, set this to true. If not specified, the default is
# false. Keeping the connection open means a faster sync start the
# next time and may use fewer server resources on connection, but uses
# more server memory. This setting has no effect if autorefresh is not set.
#
#holdconnectionopen = no
# This option stands in the [Repository RemoteExample] section.
#
# If you want to have "keepalives" sent while waiting between syncs, specify the

#
#keepalive = 60
# This option stands in the [Repository RemoteExample] section.
#
# Normally, Offlineimap will expunge deleted messages from the server. You can
# disable that if you wish. This means that Offlineimap will mark them deleted
# on the server, but not actually delete them. You must use some other IMAP
# client to delete them if you use this setting; otherwise, the messages will
# just pile up there forever. Therefore, this setting is definitely NOT
# recommended for a long term.
#
# Default is yes.

#
# WARNING: you MUST construct it so that it NEVER returns the same value for two
# folders, UNLESS the second values are filtered out by folderfilter below.
# Failure to follow this rule will result in undefined behavior.
#
# If you enable nametrans, you will likely need to set the reversed nametrans on
# the other side. See the user documentation for details and use cases. They
# are also online at: http://www.offlineimap.org/doc/nametrans.html
#
# This example below will remove "INBOX." from the leading edge of folders
# (great for Courier IMAP users).
#
#nametrans = lambda foldername: re.sub('^INBOX\.', '', foldername)
#
# Using Courier remotely and want to duplicate its mailbox naming locally? Try
# this:
#
#nametrans = lambda foldername: re.sub('^INBOX\.*', '.', foldername)
# This option stands in the [Repository RemoteExample] section.
#
# Determines if folderfilter will be invoked on each run (dynamic folder
# filtering) or filtering status will be determined at startup (default
# behaviour).
#
#dynamic_folderfilter = False
# This option stands in the [Repository RemoteExample] section.
#
# You can specify which folders to sync using the folderfilter setting. You can
# provide any python function (e.g. a lambda function) which will be invoked for
# each foldername. If the filter function returns True, the folder will be
# synced, if it returns False, it.
#
# The folderfilter operates on the *UNTRANSLATED* name (before any nametrans
# translation takes place).
#
# Example 1: synchronizing only INBOX and Sent.
#
#folderfilter = lambda foldername: foldername in ['INBOX', 'Sent']
#
# Example 2: synchronizing everything except Trash.
#
#folderfilter = lambda foldername: foldername not in ['Trash']
#
# Example 3: Using a regular expression to exclude Trash and all folders
# containing the characters "Del".
#
#folderfilter = lambda foldername: not re.search('(^Trash$|Del)', foldername)
#
# If folderfilter is not specified, ALL remote folders will be synchronized.
#
# You can span multiple lines by indenting the others. (Use backslashes at the
# end when required by Python syntax) For instance:
#
#folderfilter = lambda foldername: foldername in [
# 'INBOX', 'Sent Mail',
# 'Deleted Items', 'Received']
# This option stands in the [Repository RemoteExample] section.
#
# You can specify folderincludes to include additional folders. It should
# return a Python list. This might be used to include a folder that was
# excluded by your folderfilter rule, to include a folder that your server does
# not specify with its LIST option, or to include a folder that is outside your
# basic reference.
#
# The 'reference' value will not be prefixed to this folder name, even if you
# have specified one. For example:
#
#folderincludes = ['debian.user', 'debian.personal']
# This option stands in the [Repository RemoteExample] section.
#
# If you do not want to have any folders created on this repository,
# set the createfolders variable to False, the default is True. Using
# this feature you can e.g. disable the propagation of new folders to
# the new repository.
#
#createfolders = True
# This option stands in the [Repository RemoteExample] section.
#
# Propagate deletions from remote to local. Messages deleted in this repository
# won't get deleted on the local repository if set to "no". Default is yes.
#
# See sync_deletes in the LocalExample section, too.
#
#sync_deletes = yes
# This option stands in the [Repository RemoteExample] section.
#
# 'foldersort' determines how folders are sorted.
#
# This affects order of synchronization and mbnames. The expression should
# return -1, 0, or 1, as the default Python cmp() does. The two arguments, x
# and y, are strings representing the names of the folders to be sorted. The
# sorting is applied *AFTER* nametrans, if any. The default is to sort IMAP
# folders alphabetically (case-insensitive). Usually, you should never have to
# modify this. To eg. reverse the sort:
#
#foldersort = lambda x, y: -cmp(x, y)
# This option stands in the [Repository RemoteExample] section.
#
# Enable 1-way synchronization. When setting 'readonly' to True, this
# repository will not be modified during synchronization. Usefull to
# e.g. backup an IMAP server. The readonly setting can be applied to any
# type of Repository (Maildir, Imap, etc).
#
# Notice that this does NOT mean that the local Maildir can be used with a
# read-only filesystem When OfflineImap uploads a new email, it is assigned a
# new UID by the remote which is stored in the filename. Otherwise, Offlineimap
# would have no way to map the UID to the file.
#
#readonly = False
# This option stands in the [Repository RemoteExample] section.
#
# You can specify a newmail hook to execute an external command upon receipt
# of new mail in the INBOX.
#
# The pythonfile must be set to import any required library.
#
# This example plays a sound file of your chosing when new mail arrives.
#
#newmail_hook = lambda: os.system(
#"cvlc --play-and-stop --play-and-exit /path/to/sound/file.mp3 > /dev/null 2>&1")
# This option stands in the [Repository RemoteExample] section. [TESTING]
#
# Operating under extreme network conditions (China) network connectivity
# especially for SSL can be so bad and so slow that absolutely every possible
# kind of connectivity error that can occur does occur.
#
# Rather than have offlineimap exit on errors it may be preferable to have it
# simply retry fetching of messages dozens of times. The alternative is to
# restart offlineimap in a constant loop, which may involve using significant
# CPU cycles (if the repository is large) to load up the UID database again.
#
# This option is best utilised in combination with socktimeout, which catches
# instances of interference by e.g. the GFW at the TCP layer, as well as China
# ISPs simply not coping.
#
# Default value: retrycount = 2
#
#retrycount = 2
# This option stands in the [Repository RemoteExample] section.
#
# If offlineimap is having troubles to download some UIDS, it's possible to get
# them ignored in a list. This only ignore the download.
#
# The function must return the list of UIDs (integers), None otherwise. It is
# passed the folder name (using the remote name with the remote separator,
# likely '/').
#
#copy_ignore_eval = lambda foldername: {'INBOX': [2, 3, 4]}.get(foldername)
[Repository GmailExample]
# A repository using Gmail's IMAP interface.
#
# Any configuration parameter of "IMAP" type repositories can be used here.
# Only "remoteuser" (or "remoteusereval" ) is mandatory. Default values for
# other parameters are OK, and you should not need fiddle with those.
#
# The Gmail repository provides default values for "remotehost",
# "remoteport", "tunnel" and "ssl". For the defaults we use, see:
#
# http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78799&topic=12814
#
# This means ssl is enabled and must be configured correctly when connecting to
# Gmail.
#
# In addition we provide defaults for "oauth2_request_url",
# "trashfolder" and "spamfolder".
#
# All of the defaults we provide can be overriden. E.g. you can
# override "remotehost"/"remoteport"/"ssl" if you'd like to connect to
# imap.gmail.com via a local stunnel instead of directly.
#
# To enable GMail labels synchronisation, set the option "synclabels" in the
# corresponding "Account" section.
#
# Side note: Gmail will keep the deleted emails in "Gmail\All Mail" unless you
# defined it differently in your online settings.
#
type = Gmail
# This option stands in the [Repository GmailExample] section.
#
# Specify the Gmail user name. This is the only mandatory parameter.
#
remoteuser = username@gmail.com
# This option stands in the [Repository GmailExample] section.
#
# The trash folder name may be different from [Gmail]/Trash due to localization.
# You should look for the localized names of the spam folder too: "spamfolder"
# tunable will help you to override the standard name.
#
# For example on German Gmail, this setting should be:
#
#trashfolder = [Gmail]/Papierkorb
