If you are upgrading from a version of \fBOfflineIMAP\fR prior to
|

3.99.12, you will find that you will get errors when
|
||||
\fBOfflineIMAP\fR starts up (relating to ConfigParser or
|
||||
AccountHashGenerator) and the
|
||||
configuration file. This is because the config file format

had to change to accomodate new features in 4.0. Fortunately,

it's not difficult to adjust it to suit.

First thing you need to do is stop any running \fBOfflineIMAP\fR
|
||||
instance, making sure first that it's synced all your mail.
|

Then, modify your
|
||||
\fI~/.offlineimaprc\fR file. You'll need to
|

split up each account section (make sure that it now starts
|

with "Account ") into two Repository sections (one for the
|

local side and another for the remote side.) See the files

\fIofflineimap.conf\fR in the distribution if

you need more assistance.

\fBOfflineIMAP\fR's status directory area has also changed.
|
||||
Therefore, you should delete everything in ~/.offlineimap as

well as your local mail folders.

.PP
|
||||
When you start up \fBOfflineIMAP\fR 4.0, it will re-download all

your mail from the server and then you can continue using it

like normal.
