+
+ Examples
+ Here are some example configurations for various situations.
+ Please e-mail any other examples you have that may be useful to
+ me.
+
+
+
+ Multiple Accounts with Mutt
+
+ This example shows you how to set up &OfflineIMAP; to
+ synchronize multiple accounts with the mutt mail reader.
+
+
+ Start by creating a directory to hold your folders by running
+ mkdir ~/Mail. Then, in your
+ ~/.offlineimaprc, specify:
+
+ accounts = Personal, Work
+
+ Make sure that you have both a [Personal]
+ and a [Work] section, each with different
+ localfolder path names. Also, make sure
+ to enable [mbnames].
+
+
+ In each account section, write something like this:
+
+ localfolders = ~/Mail/Personal
+
+ Finally, add these lines to your ~/.muttrc:
+
+ source ~/path-to-mbnames-muttrc-mailboxes
+folder-hook Personal set from="youremail@personal.com"
+folder-hook Work set from="youremail@work.com"
+set mbox_type=Maildir
+set folder=$HOME/Mail
+spoolfile=+Personal/INBOX
+
+ That's it!
+
+
+
+
+ UW-IMAPD and References
+ Some users with a UW-IMAPD server need to use &OfflineIMAP;'s
+ "reference" feature to get at their mailboxes, specifying a reference
+ of "~/Mail" or "#mh/" depending on the configuration. The below
+ configuration from docwhat@gerf.org
+ shows using a reference of Mail, a nametrans
+ that strips
+ the leading Mail/ off incoming folder names, and a
+ folderfilter that
+ limits the folders synced to just three.
+
+ [Gerf]
+localfolders = ~/Mail
+remotehost = gerf.org
+ssl = yes
+remoteuser = docwhat
+reference = Mail
+# Trims off the preceeding Mail on all the folder names.
+nametrans = lambda foldername: \
+ re.sub('^Mail/', '', foldername)
+# Yeah, you have to mention the Mail dir, even though it
+# would seem intuitive that reference would trim it.
+folderfilter = lambda foldername: foldername in [
+ 'Mail/INBOX',
+ 'Mail/list/zaurus-general',
+ 'Mail/list/zaurus-dev',
+ ]
+maxconnections = 1
+holdconnectionopen = no
+
+
+
+ pythonfile Configuration File Option
+ You can have &OfflineIMAP;
+ load up a Python file before evaluating the
+ configuration file options that are Python expressions. This example
+ is based on one supplied by Tommi Virtanen for this feature.
+
+
+ In ~/.offlineimap.rc, he adds these options:
+
+ [general]
+pythonfile=~/.offlineimap.py
+[foo]
+foldersort=mycmp
+
+ Then, the ~/.offlineimap.py file will
+ contain:
+
+ prioritized = ['INBOX', 'personal', 'announce', 'list']
+
+def mycmp(x, y):
+ for prefix in prioritized:
+ if x.startswith(prefix):
+ return -1
+ elif y.startswith(prefix):
+ return +1
+ return cmp(x, y)
+
+def test_mycmp():
+ import os, os.path
+ folders=os.listdir(os.path.expanduser('~/data/mail/tv@hq.yok.utu.fi'))
+ folders.sort(mycmp)
+ print folders
+
+ This code snippet illustrates how the foldersort
+ option can be customized with a Python function from the
+ pythonfile to always synchronize certain
+ folders first.
