From Ben Kibbey
hello,
Attached is a patch to enable evaluation of account credentials with the
remotehosteval, remoteusereval and remotepasseval configuration options.
I needed this because rather than change all my other programs
configuration settings when I change, say a password, I store them in a
file. So I call a function in pythonfile which parses the credential
file and returns the wanted info. Not really very well tested, but not
complex either. Offlineimap is great, thanks.

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.

Attached is a patch to restore the atime of Maildir folders after
syncing. It can be enabled via the 'restoreatime' boolean in the
configuration file. I needed this because offlineimap is run after a
fetchmail and my mail checker breaks.
