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.

License

GNU General Public License v2.

Why should I use OfflineIMAP?

  • It is fast.
  • It is reliable.
  • It is flexible.
  • It is safe.

Downloads

You should first check if your distribution already package OfflineIMAP for you. Downloads releases as tarball or zipball.

Feedbacks and contributions

The user discussions, development, announces and all the exciting stuff take place in the mailing list. While not mandatory to send emails, you can subscribe here.

The community

Requirements

  • Python v2.7
  • Python SQlite (optional while recommended)

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.
