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. As this is pretty highlevel code, we also protect against receiving a SystemExit exception which is raised e.g. in the ui.terminate() code by calling sys.exit().

Description
Welcome to the official OfflineIMAP project.
OfflineIMAP is a tool to simplify your e-mail reading. With OfflineIMAP, you can read the same mailbox from multiple computers. You get a current copy of your messages on each computer, and changes you make one place will be visible on all other systems. For instance, you can delete a message on your home computer, and it will appear deleted on your work computer as well. OfflineIMAP is also useful if you want to use a mail reader that does not have IMAP support, has poor IMAP support, or does not provide disconnected operation.
OfflineIMAP works on pretty much any POSIX operating system, such as Linux, BSD operating systems, MacOS X, Solaris, etc.
OfflineIMAP is a Free Software project licensed under the GNU General Public License. You can download it for free, and you can modify it. In fact, you are encouraged to contribute to OfflineIMAP, and doing so is fast and easy.
This software was written by John Goerzen, who retired from maintaining. It is now maintained by Nicolas Sebrecht.
