- Suggest that this works well together with email indexing.
- Warn about modifying the labelsheader after a sync.
- In the example replace X-Gmail-Keywords by X-Keywords. I think this is
misleading, since no email client will pick up X-Gmail-Keywords, while
X-Keywords (the default) is recognized by some.
- add paragraph explaining special gmail labels.

We usually mutate some exceptions to OfflineImapError() and it is
a whole lot better if such exception will show up with the original
traceback, so all valid occurrences of such mutations were transformed
to the 3-tuple form of "raise". Had also added coding guidelines

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.

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.

By default OfflineImap propagates new folders in both
directions. Sometimes this is not what you want. E.g. you might want
new folders on your IMAP server to propagate to your local MailDir,
but not the other way around. The 'readonly' setting on a repository
will not help here, as it prevents any change from occuring on that
repository. This is what the `createfolders` setting is for. By
default it is `True`, meaning that new folders can be created on this
repository. To prevent folders from ever being created on a
repository, set this to `False`. If you set this to False on the
REMOTE repository, you will not have to create the `Reverse
nametrans`_ rules on the LOCAL repository.

Hi, the following patch updates the documentation. It was a bit out of

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

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
