--mbnames-prune::
Remove dangling entries for removed accounts or if mbnames is not enabled/used
anymore.
+
Internally, offlineimap build intermediate mbnames files. They are added
automatically when mbnames is enabled. However, disabling accounts so they are
not synced anymore does not necessarily means they should be removed from the file
built by mbnames. It is required to start offlineimap with this CLI option each
time accounts are removed. When run, any account not in the 'accounts'
configuration option are removed in the mbnames file.
+
It is possible to manually remove intermediate files in '<metadata>/mbnames/'.
+
Notice this option honors --dry-run.
