Hugo Osvaldo Barrera e7a3fd55ac Use a pre-existing target for systemd services
Providing mail.target is really confusing and poor UX:

* When a user enables a unit, it's not truly enabled until they ALSO
  enable mail.target. This is very counter-intuitive.
* `mail.target` provides no extra value in itself, nor is it anything
  "standard".
* Any user wanting this specific target can still continue using it just
  dropping in a `mail.target` file.

Systemd units

These unit files are meant to be used in the user session. You may drop them into /etc/systemd/user or ${XDG_DATA_HOME}/systemd/user followed by systemctl --user daemon-reload to have systemd aware of the unit files.

These files are meant to be triggered either manually using systemctl --user start offlineimap.service or by enabling the timer unit using systemctl --user enable offlineimap.timer. Additionally, specific accounts may be triggered by using offlineimap@myaccount.timer or offlineimap@myaccount.service.

If the defaults provided by these units doesn't suit your setup, any of the values may be overridden by using systemctl --user edit offlineimap.service. This'll prevent having to copy-and-edit the original file.
