46 # Note: if you are using autorefresh and have more than one account,

92 # By default, OfflineIMAP will not exit due to a network error until
93 # the operating system returns an error code. Operating systems can sometimes
94 # take forever to notice this. Here you can activate a timeout on the
95 # socket. This timeout applies to individual socket reads and writes,
96 # not to an overall sync operation. You could perfectly well have a 30s
97 # timeout here and your sync still take minutes.
98 #
99 # Values in the 30-120 second range are reasonable.

101 # The default is to have no timeout beyond the OS. Times are given in seconds.

105 # By default, OfflineIMAP will use fsync() to force data out to disk at
106 # opportune times to ensure consistency. This can, however, reduce
107 # performance. Users where /home is on SSD (Flash) may also wish to reduce
108 # write cycles. Therefore, you can disable OfflineIMAP's use of fsync().
109 # Doing so will come at the expense of greater risk of message duplication
110 # in the event of a system crash or power loss. Default is fsync = true.
111 # Set fsync = false ot disable fsync.

267 # There are five ways to give the password for the remote IMAP
268 # server:
269 #
270 # 1. No password at all specified in the config file. If a matching
271 # entry is found in ~/.netrc (see netrc (5) for information) the
272 # password from the matching entry will be used. Otherwise you
273 # will be prompted for the password when OfflineIMAP starts.
274 #
275 # 2. The remote password stored in this file with the remotepass
276 # option. Example:
277 #
278 # remotepass = mypassword
279 #
280 # 3. The remote password stored as a single line in an external
281 # file, which is referenced by the remotefile option. Example:
282 #
283 # remotepassfile = ~/Password.IMAP.Account1
284 #
285 # 4. With a preauth tunnel. With this method, you invoke an external
286 # program that is guaranteed *NOT* to ask for a password, but rather
287 # to read from stdin and write to stdout an IMAP procotol stream
288 # that begins life in the PREAUTH state. When you use a tunnel,
289 # you do NOT specify a user or password (if you do, they'll be
290 # ignored.) Instead, you specify a preauthtunnel, as this
291 # example illustrates for Courier IMAP on Debian:
292 #
293 # preauthtunnel = ssh -q imaphost '/usr/bin/imapd ./Maildir'
294 #
295 # 5. If you are using Kerberos and have the Python Kerberos package installed,
296 # you should not specify a remotepass. If the user has a valid
297 # Kerberos TGT, OfflineIMAP will figure out the rest all by itself, and
298 # fall back to password authentication if needed.

300 ########## Advanced settings
301
302 # Some IMAP servers need a "reference" which often refers to the
303 # "folder root". This is most commonly needed with UW IMAP, where
304 # you might need to specify the directory in which your mail is
305 # stored. Most users will not need this.
306 #
307 # reference = Mail
308
309 # OfflineIMAP can use multiple connections to the server in order
310 # to perform multiple synchronization actions simultaneously.
311 # This may place a higher burden on the server. In most cases,
312 # setting this value to 2 or 3 will speed up the sync, but in some
313 # cases, it may slow things down. The safe answer is 1. You should
314 # probably never set it to a value more than 5.
315
316 maxconnections = 1
317
318 # OfflineIMAP normally closes IMAP server connections between refreshes if
319 # the global option autorefresh is specified. If you wish it to keep the
320 # connection open, set this to true. If not specified, the default is
321 # false. Keeping the connection open means a faster sync start the
322 # next time and may use fewer server resources on connection, but uses
323 # more server memory. This setting has no effect if autorefresh is not set.
324
325 holdconnectionopen = no
326
327 # If you want to have "keepalives" sent while waiting between syncs,
328 # specify the amount of time IN SECONDS between keepalives here. Note that
329 # sometimes more than this amount of time might pass, so don't make it
330 # tight. This setting has no effect if autorefresh and holdconnectionopen
331 # are not both set.
332
333 # keepalive = 60
334
335 # Normally, OfflineIMAP will expunge deleted messages from the server.
336 # You can disable that if you wish. This means that OfflineIMAP will
337 # mark them deleted on the server, but not actually delete them.
338 # You must use some other IMAP client to delete them if you use this
339 # setting; otherwise, the messgaes will just pile up there forever.
340 # Therefore, this setting is definately NOT recommended.
341 #
342 # expunge = no
343 # You can specify a folder translator. This must be a eval-able
344 # Python expression that takes a foldername arg and returns the new
345 # value. I suggest a lambda. This example below will remove "INBOX." from
346 # the leading edge of folders (great for Courier IMAP users)
347 #
348 # WARNING: you MUST construct this such that it NEVER returns
349 # the same value for two folders, UNLESS the second values are
350 # filtered out by folderfilter below. Failure to follow this rule
351 # will result in undefined behavior
352 #
353 # nametrans = lambda foldername: re.sub('^INBOX\.', '', foldername)
354
355 # Using Courier remotely and want to duplicate its mailbox naming
356 # locally? Try this:
357 #
358 # nametrans = lambda foldername: re.sub('^INBOX\.*', '.', foldername)
359
360 # You can specify which folders to sync. You can do it several ways.
361 # I'll provide some examples. The folderfilter operates on the
362 # *UNTRANSLATED* name, if you specify nametrans. It should return
363 # true if the folder is to be included; false otherwise.
364 #
365 # Example 1: synchronizing only INBOX and Sent.
366 #
367 # folderfilter = lambda foldername: foldername in ['INBOX', 'Sent']
368 #
369 # Example 2: synchronizing everything except Trash.
370 #
371 # folderfilter = lambda foldername: foldername not in ['Trash']
372 #
373 # Example 3: Using a regular expression to exclude Trash and all folders
374 # containing the characters "Del".
375 #
376 # folderfilter = lambda foldername: not re.search('(^Trash$|Del)', foldername)
377 #
378 # If folderfilter is not specified, ALL remote folders will be
379 # synchronized.
380 #
381 # You can span multiple lines by indenting the others. (Use backslashes
382 # at the end when required by Python syntax) For instance:
383 #
384 # folderfilter = lambda foldername: foldername in
385 # ['INBOX', 'Sent Mail', 'Deleted Items',
386 # 'Received']
387 #
388 # FYI, you could also include every folder with:
389 #
390 # folderfilter = lambda foldername: 1
391 #
392 # And exclude every folder with:
393 #
394 # folderfilter = lambda foldername: 0
395
396 # You can specify folderincludes to include additional folders.
397 # It should return a Python list. This might be used to include a
398 # folder that was excluded by your folderfilter rule, to include a
399 # folder that your server does not specify with its LIST option, or
400 # to include a folder that is outside your basic reference. Some examples:
401 #
402 # To include debian.user and debian.personal:
403 #
404 # folderincludes = ['debian.user', 'debian.personal']
405 #
406 # To include your INBOX (UW IMAPd users will find this useful if they
407 # specify a reference):
408 #
409 # folderincludes = ['INBOX']
410 #
411 # To specify a long list:
412 #
413 # folderincludes = ['box1', 'box2', 'box3', 'box4',
414 # 'box5', 'box6']
415
416 # You can specify foldersort to determine how folders are sorted.
417 # This affects order of synchronization and mbnames. The expression
418 # should return -1, 0, or 1, as the default Python cmp() does. The
419 # two arguments, x and y, are strings representing the names of the folders
420 # to be sorted. The sorting is applied *AFTER* nametrans, if any.
421 #
422 # To reverse the sort:
423 #
424 # foldersort = lambda x, y: -cmp(x, y)
