The basic problem is in the context of syncing multiple accounts where
one is fast and the others are slower (due to the number of folders).
When the fast account completes, the other accounts are partially written
through the list and if the file is read during this time, the list can
be useless. However, in the general case, the file is probably left
around from a previous run of offlineimap and is more correct, so add an
option to leave it alone until all syncing is done.
Incremental is still the default since this running offlineimap using
its own timer setup is likely the most common setup. Turning it off
works best with one-shot mode triggered by cron or systemd timers.

This simplifies logics for the user, especially if he uses both
fingerprint and certificate validation: it is hard to maintain
the compatibility with the prior behaviour and to avoid getting
default CA bundle to be disabled when fingerprint verification
is requested.
See
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.mail.imap.offlineimap.general/6695
for discussion about this change.
Default CA bundle is requested via 'sslcertfile = OS-DEFAULT'.
I had also enforced all cases where explicitely-requested CA bundles
are non-existent to be hard errors: when users asks us to use CA
bundle (and, thus, certificate validation), but we can't find one,
we must error out rather than happily continue and downgrade to
no validation.

Format headers X-Label and Keywords as a space separated list and all

handling to be compatible with some user agents that recognise these
headers.

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.

It's nice to set up an ssh tunnel command which forwards an IMAP tcp
port inside an encrypted session, e.g. with ssh's "-W" flag. In this
case the tunnelled connection still requires authentication inside
IMAP session, because this is transport-only tunnel that substitutes
normal TCP/SSL connection.
New directive, 'transporttunnel' was added: it specifies the command
that will create the tunnel. Only one type of tunnel must be
specified for a single repository: we can't have both preauthenticated
and transport-type tunnels, they won't chain together.

- this method isn't as deprecated as IMAP LOGIN;
- it allows to keep hashed passwords on the server side;
- it has the ability to specify that the remote identity
is different from authenticating username, so it even
can be useful in some cases (e.g., migrated mailboxes);
configuration variable "remote_identity" was introduced

I think these days Google also uses Gmail in Germany, so also changed
German Google Mail to German Gmail.
mutt-sidebar and, probably, other MUA show mailboxes in the order
they are listed in the file written by mbnames. Therefore, to allow
customization of the order with which mailboxes are listed, introduce
the new 'sort_keyfunc' directive in the [mbnames] section.
'sort_keyfunc' must be a function that will be called once for each
mailbox. It must accept the only argument -- a dict with 2 items,
'accountname' and 'foldername', and should return an object that
will be used as the sorting key for each mailbox.
Default key function returns (d['accountname'], d['foldername']),
thus sorting by account name and then by the folder name.

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.
Also implement a test for this

WARNING: I consider the Gmail "realdelete" option as harmful with the
potential for DATALOSS. Add scary warnings to offlineimap.conf.
See the analysis at
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.mail.imap.offlineimap.general/5265
Deleting a message from a Gmail folder via the IMAP interface will just
remove that folder's label from the message: the message will continue
to exist in the '[Gmail]/All Mail' folder. If `realdelete` is set to
`True`, then deleted messages will be moved to the '[Gmail]/Trash'
folder. BEWARE: this will immediately delete a messages from *all
folders* it belongs to!
AS OFFLINEIMAP IMPLEMENTS FOLDER MOVES AS 1) AN ADD and 2) A DELETE (the
order can vary), THIS MEANS THAT A FOLDER MOVE CAN CAUSE DATALOSS. DO
NOT USE IT AND MOVE MAIL TO "[Gmail]/Trash" TO DELETE MAIL FROM
"[Gmail]/All Mail"!
We will need to discuss whether to completely disable that feature.

SafeConfigParser is very similar to the currently used ConfigParser but
it supports interpolation. This means values can contain format strings
which refer to other values in the same section, or values in a special
DEFAULT section. For example:
[My Section]
foodir: %(dir)s/whatever
dir=frob
would resolve the %(dir)s to the value of dir (frob in this case). All reference expansions are done on demand.
