Can I use OfflineIMAP on Windows?
|
||||||
|
These answers have been reported by OfflineIMAP users. I do not
|
||||||
|
run OfflineIMAP on Windows myself, so I can't directly address
|
||||||
|
their accuracy.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The basic answer is that it's possible and doesn't require hack-
|
||||||
|
ing OfflineIMAP source code. However, it's not necessarily
|
||||||
|
trivial. The information below is based in instructions submit-
|
||||||
|
ted by Chris Walker.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
First, you must run OfflineIMAP in the Cygwin
|
||||||
|
<URL:http://www.cygwin.com/> environment.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Next, you'll need to mount your Maildir directory in a special
|
||||||
|
way. There is information for doing that at
|
||||||
|
<URL:http://barnson.org/node/view/295>. That site gives this
|
||||||
|
example:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
mount -f -s -b -o managed "d:/tmp/mail" "/home/of/mail"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
That URL also has more details on making OfflineIMAP work with
|
||||||
|
Windows.
