Sebastian Spaeth 74b133c500 Revamped documentation structure and some doc fixes
`make` in the `docs` dir or `make doc` in the root dir will now
create the 1) man page and 2) the user documentation using sphinx
(requiring python-doctools, and sphinx).

The resulting user docs are in `docs/html`. You can also
only create the man pages with `make man` in the `docs` dir.

Also fixed all .rst conversion errors as requested by Gentoo downstream.

Welcome to :mod:`offlineimaps`'s documentation
==============================================
`OfflineImap`_ synchronizes email between an IMAP server and a MailDir or between two IMAP servers. It offers very powerful and flexible configuration options, that allow things such as the filtering of folders, transposing of names via static configuration or python scripting. It plays well with mutt and other MailDir consuming email clients.
The documentation contains the end user documentation in a first part. It also contains use cases and example configurations. It is followed by the internal :doc:`API documentation <API>` for those interested in modifying the source code or otherwise peek into the OfflineImap internals in a second part.
If you just want to get started with minimal fuzz, have a look at our `online quick start guide <http://offlineimap.org/#ref-quick-start>`_. Do note though, that our configuration options are many and powerful. Perusing our precious documentation does often pay off!
