When synclabels config flag is set to "yes" for the GMail repo,
offlineimap fetches the message labels along with the messages, and
embeds them into the body under the header X-Keywords (or whatever
'labelsheader' was set to), as a comma separated list.
It also adds an extra pass to savemessageto, that performs label
synchronization on existing messages from GMail to local, the same way
it is done with flags.
We also introduce GmailMaildir repository that adds functionality to
change message labels. It keeps track of messages modification time,
so one can quickly detect when the labels may have changed.

They are redundant in all pruned cases and sometimes even create some
problems, e.g., when one tries to jump through paragraphs in vi.

offlineimap has several frontends that encourage running it from a
terminal under an X session. When X session closes for a system
shutdown, the terminals exit, after sending SIGHUP to their children.
Previously SIGHUP was treated to be equivalent to SIGUSR1, i.e. wake
up and sync all accounts. This causes delays during shutdown.
According to Wikipedia [0], SIGHUP has been repurposed from a
historical meaning to one of:
* re-read configuration files, or reinitialize (e.g. Apache, sendmail)
* controlling pseudo or virtual terminal has been closed
I believe second meaning is more appropriate for offlineimap, and
hence this patch makes SIGHUP to be handled in the same way SIGTERM
and SIGINT are handled.

`make` in the `docs` dir or `make doc` in the root dir will now
create the 1) man page and 2) the user documentation using sphinx
(requiring python-doctools, and sphinx).
The resulting user docs are in `docs/html`. You can also
only create the man pages with `make man` in the `docs` dir.
Also fixed all .rst conversion errors as requested by Gentoo downstream.

Fill in more details on nametrans and folder filtering. Also give them a
separate section in our user documentation. Everything will be
immediately online at docs.offlineimap.org.
The main change is to describe the reverse nametrans settings that are

Hi, the following patch updates the documentation. It was a bit out of
context since Sebastian originally just copied it from my webpage.
Also, the code for the helper functions is available there under
"Download". I did not include it because it would leave larger chunks
of python code in the manual which seems weird.

Actually no, this was on purpose.

That makes OfflineIMAP to use exclamation mark (!) instead of colon for storing
messages. Such files can be written to windows partitions. But you will probably
loose compatibility with other programs trying to read the same Maildir.

The SigListener class was used to queue folders that we need to sync and
to receive "resync" and "abort" signals. It was undocumented and weird
and we had to pass "siglisteners" through the whole program.
Simply do away with it, and make 2 functions in the Account() class:
set_abort_event and get_abort_event which can be used to set and check
for such signals. This way we do not need to pass siglisteners all over
the place. Tested Blinkenlights and TTYUI uis to make sure that SIGUSR1
and SIGUSR2 actually still work.
Document those signals in MANUAL.rst. They were completly undocumented.
This simplifies the code and interdependencies by passing less stuff
around. Removes an undocumented and weirdly named class.

The previous ui names were pretty unwieldy. Is it TTYUI.TTY or
TTY.TTYUI? Do I have to use capitals and where?
Simplify the names by making them case insensitive and by dropping
everything before the dot.
So "Curses.Blinkenlights" can now be invoked as "blinkenlights" or
"BLINKENLIGHTS". The old names will still work just fine so the
transition should be smooth. We issue a warning that the long names are
deprecated.
Document in offlineimap.conf that we don't accept lists of fallback UIs,
but only one UI option (this was already the case before this commit but
still wrongly documented).
The list of accepted ui names is:
ttyui (default), basic, quiet, machineui, blinkenlights

This is a great move to help contributors in maintaining documentation.
While doing huge changes in this area, do a bit more than simply SGML to rst:
* move README from markdown to rst
* make a "true" man page with no more information
* refactor content and sections
