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

IMAP, Maildir, and LocalStatus abort if in dry-run mode. IMAP and Maildir
will log that they "would have" created a new folder.
This will probably fail later on as we can not cache messagelists on
folder that don't exist, so --dry-run is not yet safe when new folders
have been created.

While improving the test suite, I noticed that we would not create folders on
the remote in some cases when we should (yay for test suites!). This is because
we were testing the untransposed LOCAL foldername and check if it existed on
the remote side when deciding whether we should potentially create a new folder.
Simplify the code by transposing the LOCAL folder names in dst_hash, saving us
to create another confusing "newsrc" temp variable. Make the code a bit more
readable by using dst_name_t to indicate we operate a transposed folder name.
This now passes test 03 (using invalid nametrans rules) when test 03 would pass
before.

Rename variable src_name to src_name_t to indicate that it is the transposed
name. Also rather than testing the hash thingie, we can simply test for
"if source_name_t in dst_folders" now.

By default we sort folders alphabetically (for IMAP) according to their
transposed names. For python3, we need to bend a bit backwards to still
allow the use of a cmp() function for foldersort. While going through, I
discovered that we never sort folders for Maildir.

1) Rename the unintuitive repository.syncfoldersto() to
sync_folder_structure()
2) We were checking if the local repository is readonly and then turning
off any folder creation. But as we can create folders on a remote
repository too, we need to be more fine grained here. Just don't create
a folder on the repository that is marked readonly=True.
This still does not do away with the error message that one currently
gets on missing local folders.

If we create a new folder we would previously not update our folder
list, which led to us skipping the synchronization of those new folders
during the initial run (subsequent runs would pick it up).
Invalidate the folder cache when we create a folder during folder
structure sync. Regetting the whole list from an IMAP server might be
slightly suboptimal from a performance point, but it is easy and will
lead to consistent results. Hopefully we will not have to create new
folders on each new run.

We passed in the accountname to all derivatives of BaseFolder, such as
IMAPFolder(...,repository,...,accountname), although it is perfectly
possible to get the accountname from the Repository(). So remove this
unneeded parameter. Each backend had to define getaccountname() (although
the function is hardly used and most accessed .accountname directly).
On the other hand BaseFolder was using getaccountname but it never defined
the function. So make the sane thing, remove all definitions from backends
and define accountname() once in Basefolder. It was made a property and not
just a (public) attribute, so it will show up in our developer
documentation as public API.

repository.BaseRepository().restore_atime() was testing in complex ways
that it only operates on a Maildir and that the 'restoreatime' setting
is set. This is unecessary, we can simply make the base implementation a
NoOp, and move the implementation to MaildirRepository().
This will save a tad of work for everyone doing IMAP<->IMAP

Name parameter that hands us a Status Repository 'status_repo' and not
'copyfolders' as was before:
a) make it clear that we pass in a repository and not folder
instances. That was very confusing before.
b) We were always only using one 'copyfolders' item anyway, so let us
not make it a list.
Go through the list and make the variable nameing consistent:
dst_repo rather than dest (is it a folder?) to match the status_repo
naming scheme.

Previously we hard-coded the imap server name in the case of Gmail
repositories, but often we need a different host name. So, allow people
to specify the hostname via the regular "remotehosteval" and
"remotehost" settings, and only falling back to imap.gmail.com when
nothing has been specified.
Cache the hostname, so we don't evaluate the whole thing each time we
query the host name.
Make the remotehosteval processing more robust, by catching any
Exceptions that occur, and throw a OfflineImapError, that explains where
exactly the error had occured. You can test this, e.g. by setting
remotehosteval to 1/"n" or some other invalid expression.
The whole IMAP.gethost() function has been documented code wise while

A Repository() returns the correctly instanciated dervivate of a
BaseRepository, depending on the parameters passed to it. The returned
instance is eg an ImapRepository(). This makes the code look nicer,
and we have less functions lying around outside of classes (no more
global LoadRepository() function).
This will also enable us to conveniently hand back a
LocalStatusRepository based on SQLITE rather than plain text, if the
user configures this to be the experimental and optional backend
(once it exists).

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.

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.
