Hi,
I have attached my relevant configs (and hopefully managed to anonymize
them enough). As you can see I use the 'utf7.py' module (placed in
~/.offlineimap/) to decode/encode between imap4-utf-7 and utf-8 on
system (if your filesystem uses a different encoding you might have
issues). Please don't use the configs verbatim, but rather as
inspiration: I might have cut out important parts. Some of this is
in the wiki.
Some of the folders are translated (bi-directional of course) in my
offlineimaprc, but if you check out my sources.yaml you will see that I
have specified which folders are related to special (deleted, starred,
inbox, etc) for some of the sources.
My translation setup in offlineimaprc for my first GMail account
corresponds to the default values the maildirroot source suggests. The
only relevant change in config.yaml is to set sync_back_to_maildir:
true.
The way I set up sup with maildirroot is:
$ sup-config
fill in, don't add any sources. If you have a working config.yaml, you
can use it.
add sources:
$ sup-add maildirroot:///home/gaute/.mail/imap_account
I edit ~/.sup/sources.yaml and enable:
- confirm_enable_experimental: true
- sync_back: true
- maildir_creation_allowed: true
and tweak the folder names if necessary.
Then if your index is empty (you _cannot_ merge an existing maildir
source by using the same source id) - I run sup-sync:
$ sup-sync -v
Note that sup-sync does not support the :updated flag (when a message
has moved on disk), for that you have to run regular Sup and do a poll.
sup-sync scans through and adds labels; you can also just start up sup
and see what happens, but that takes a longer time: you probably do not
need to enable the stuff in sources.yaml before after sup-sync if you
are nervous (I would be!).
Some annoying issues:
- deleting a maildir is hard:
* if you delete it remotely it will be recreated by offlineimap (i
think)
* you have to first remove all emails remotely, sync sup, to make sure
labels are removed.
* if you remove all messages from a label the maildir will be empty,
to delete the maildir: sync, delete the maildir locally + delete it
remotely; then re-sync.
this is the behaviour of offlineimap, but I think it is hard to do
it differently. this means that if you accidentally add a bogus
label, it is a bit of a pain to get rid of the maildir.
- if a message is deleted from the inbox remotely (archived) it is not
removed from the inbox view (or any thread index view it is visible
in) before sup is restarted.
To test maildirroot:
checkout my branch; make the gem: $ rake gem and install it: $ gem
install pkg/sup-999.gem. If develop has changed you can try to merge it in
first.
Again; please make a backup copy of your .mail so that you can restore
it if it turns out maildirroot has been eating or multiplying emails :)
I probably don't have the time to difficult bugs, but I would be happy
to accept patches and I could also put this branch on official Sup if it
turns out to be worth something.
Cheers, Gaute
