Within :mod:`offlineimap`, the classes :class:`OfflineImap` provides the high-level functionality. The rest of the classes should usually not needed to be touched by the user. A folder is represented by a :class:`offlineimap.folder.Base.BaseFolder` or any derivative :mod:`offlineimap.folder`.

.. currentmodule:: offlineimap.repository
:mod:`offlineimap.repository` -- Email repositories
------------------------------------------------------------
A derivative of class
:class:`Base.BaseRepository` represents an email
repository depending on the type of storage, possible options are:
* :class:`IMAPRepository`,
* :class:`MappedIMAPRepository`
* :class:`GmailRepository`,
* :class:`MaildirRepository`, or
* :class:`LocalStatusRepository`.
Which class you need depends on your account
configuration. The helper class :class:`offlineimap.repository.Repository` is
an *autoloader*, that returns the correct class depending
on your configuration. So when you want to instanciate a new
:mod:`offlineimap.repository`, you will mostly do it through this class.
