# OfflineImap
## Description
OfflineIMAP is a software to dispose your e-mail mailbox(es) as a local Maildir.
For example, this allows reading the mails while offline without the need for your mail reader (MUA) to support disconnected operations.
OfflineIMAP will synchronize both sides via *IMAP*.
## License

## The community

* And finally, [the wiki][wiki].
## Requirements
* Python v2.7
* Python SQlite (optional while recommended)
## Documentation
The documentation is included (in .rst format) in the `docs` directory.
Read it directly or generate nice html docs (python-sphinx needed) and/or
the man page (python-docutils needed) while being in the `docs` dir via:
'make doc' (user docs), 'make man' (man page only) or 'make' (both)
(`make html` will simply create html versions of all *.rst files in /docs)
The resulting user documentation will be in `docs/html`. The full user
docs are also at: http://docs.offlineimap.org. Please see there for
detailed information on how to install and configure OfflineImap.
