OfflineImap

Description

OfflineIMAP is a software to dispose your e-mail mailbox(es) as a local Maildir.

For example, this allows reading the mails while offline without the need for your mail reader (MUA) to support disconnected operations.

OfflineIMAP will synchronize both sides via IMAP.

Documentation

The documentation is included (in .rst format) in the docs directory. Read it directly or generate nice html docs (python-sphinx needed) and/or the man page (python-docutils needed) while being in the docs dir via:

'make doc' (user docs), 'make man' (man page only) or 'make' (both)

(`make html` will simply create html versions of all *.rst files in /docs)

The resulting user documentation will be in docs/html. The full user docs are also at: http://docs.offlineimap.org. Please see there for detailed information on how to install and configure OfflineImap.
