Previously we did not catch KeyboardInterrupts explicitly as all of the
code was executed in forked child threads which would never receive
Ctrl-c exceptions. With the upcoming single threaded modus, this code
can be run in the main thread however, so we need to take care of
KeyboardInterrupts explicitly.
This was done wherever we would catch *ALL* exceptions universally and
print out an error message.

The latter is much shorter and looks nicer. UIBase was a very weird
name and with this patch, we don't need to use (or see) it from higher
level code anymore.

Previoiusly, we would just bomb out with a KeyError("Foo") if a user
configured a repository Type=Foo. Or in case he tried to sync from a
Maildir to a Maildir. Still abort with an Exception now, but with one
that explains what actually had happened.

Dear All,
I have made the attached patch to try and make offlineimap a bit more
stable in challenging situations. It's extremely useful in slow
connection environments - but sometimes if one account had the wrong
password or the connection went down then unfortunately the whole
program would crash.
I have tested this on our connection and tried throwing at it just about
every situation - connection, up down, up, down again, change password,
error whilst copying one message, etc. I have been running this patch
for the last 5 days or so syncing 6 accounts at the moment... It seems
to work and stay alive nicely (even if your connection does not)...
Hope that this can go in for the next release... Please let me know if
anyone notices any problems with this...
Regards,
-Mike

Subject: [PATCH] This patch attempts to introduce a little more error handling - e.g.
if one account has an error because of a changed password or something
that should not affect the other accounts.
Specifically:
If one sync run has an issue this is in a try-except clause - if it
has an auto refresh period the thread will sleep and try again - this
could be quite useful in the event of the connection going down for a
little while, changed password etc.
If one folder cannot be created an error message will be displayed through
the UI and the program will continue (e.g. permission denied to create a folder)
If one message does not want to copy for whatever resaon an error message
will be displayed through the UI and at least the other messages will
be copied
If one folder run has an exception then the others will still run
This should improve power-management abilities some more
The catch is that we can't wait any longer for the kathread to
terminate. We were waiting for this in some cases. This is probably
not a big deal.

Noted thie code:
statusfolder =
statusrepos.getfolder(remotefolder.getvisiblename().\
replace(remoterepos.getsep(),
statusrepos.getsep()))
in accounts.py. Should have been using the sep of the LocalStatus all
along.

New repository/folder classes to support "real deletion" of messages
thorugh Gmail's IMAP interface: to really delete a message in Gmail,
one has to move it to the Trash folder, rather than EXPUNGE it.
This involves several changes at different places:
- syncfoldersto() takes statusfolder as an argument, and returns the
list of new folders and the list of folders that should be ingnored,
typically those that were deleted. Warns the user about folders that
are present only on one side and are not synced.
- syncfoldersto() is called both ways, and on folder creation
forgetfolders() is used to rebuild the list and take the new creation
into account. Probably not the most efficient, since it involves
talking to the IMAP server again, but it will rarely be used anyway.
- Locally created folders are treated separately in the synchronization,
namely the local messages are uploaded and then the normal sync still
occurs. If the same folder is created on both sides and contains
messages on both sides, a two-way sync occurs.

Attached is a new diff that should work though not really tested
(v4.0.14). In repository/Base.py restore_atime() will call
self.restore_folder_atimes() only if the folder type is Maildir. Let me
know if it has any more problems.
