Basic
------
Basic is designed for situations in which OfflineIMAP will be run
non-attended and the status of its execution will be logged. This user

Folder filtering and nametrans
==============================
OfflineImap offers flexible (and complex) ways of filtering and transforming folder names. Please see the docs/doc-src/nametrans.rst document about details how to use folder filters and name transformations. The documentation will be autogenerated by a "make doc" in the docs directory. It is also viewable at :ref:`folder_filtering_and_name_translation`.
