When a new remote folder was detected, we tried to create the folder
locally on the Maildir and called repository.forgetfolders() to force a
new scanning of the Maildir. However, that implementation used the
inherited base function that did nothing. We simply needed to implement
forgetfolders() to set self.folder=None, so we would force a new read in
of the updated local folder structure.

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.

When sep='/' in a Maildir, we were doing a os.path.join(dirname,'') on
the top level maildir, which results in a "dirname/", so all our maildir
folder names had slashes appended. Which is pretty much wrong, so this
fixes it by only using os.path.join when we actually have something to
append.

The default parameter value was "None", and we were comparing that
directly to the imaplib2 value of is_readonly which is False or True, so

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.

Previously, getfolder() would always construct new MaildirFolder()

function to:
1) Scan and cache the folders if not already done
2) Return the same cached object if we ask for the same foldername twice
3) Reduce a tiny bit of code duplication
This is important because we handle stuff like folderfilter in the
scandir function and if we discard the scanned dir and create a new
object on folderget(), we will lose the folderfilter information.

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.

because we crash with a traceback when running:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=499755
The underlying reason is that we cannot create the "top level" root
directory of the Maildir in the function makefolders(), it will bail
out. John Goerzen intentionally prevented offlineimap from creating the
top-level dir, so that a misconfiguration could not arbitrarily create
folders on the file system. I believe that it should be perfectly
possible to automatically create the root dirctory of the maildir. We
still protect against folder creations at arbitrary places in the file
system though.

adds some robustness in case the folders already exist that we want to

Hello John,
i fixed some tiny bugs in offlineimap, mainly just for myself. They are
more dirty fixes than real bugfixes since I'm missing the deeper insight
into the code.
Especially the first one for Curses.py is very dirty and breaks the
scaling of the interface when the terminal size changes, but at least
the terminal is in proper state after exiting offlineimap.
In the order of appearance in the patchfile:
1. 'fixes' terminal breakage on quit of curses interface in python 2.6
to 2.6.5 (fixed since 2.6.6 http://bugs.python.org/issue7567)
2. fixes netrc password authentication
3. fixes user name querying from netrc
The patch is made for git revision 6b1cb5e036
Thanks a lot for the great application!

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.

hello,

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 and returns the wanted info. Not really very well tested, but not
