Hugo 雨果<p>My reason for using offlineimap is because it supports IMAP IDLE, but its IDLE support has been broken for years, so I use it with IDLE disabled.</p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/email" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>email</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/askfedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>askfedi</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/imap" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>imap</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/offlineimap" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>offlineimap</span></a></p>

Claudine C :antifa:<p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Email" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Email</span></a> like it's the 2000s again? I am seriously considering adopting <a href="https://aus.social/tags/neomutt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>neomutt</span></a> alongside <a href="https://aus.social/tags/offlineimap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>offlineimap</span></a> and <a href="https://aus.social/tags/notmuch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>notmuch</span></a> to help me deal with thousands of emails. I was a big fan of <a href="https://aus.social/tags/mutt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mutt</span></a> back in the day, until I started having to deal with HTML email (ugh) on a daily basis at work. I'll probably still use <a href="https://aus.social/tags/MailMate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MailMate</span></a> when necessary for sending fancy emails, but sorting, filing, and archiving email is so much faster on the <a href="https://aus.social/tags/commandline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>commandline</span></a> and <a href="https://aus.social/tags/terminal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>terminal</span></a>.</p>

Rince<p>So... <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/offlineimap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>offlineimap</span></a> tut jetzt was ich will. Bzw. ich verstehe was es tut. _Erst_ Mails moven (so dass die Mailboxen leer werden), dann syncen und _dann_ die Submailbox löschen. Ansonsten erstellt offlineimap sie wieder...</p>
Rince<p>Ich stelle gerade fest, das es einfacher ist, <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/offlineimap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>offlineimap</span></a> einfach komplett neu synchen zu lassen als Folder zu löschen. Aus irgendeinem Grunde ist es der Meinung remote gelöschte Ordner wieder herzustellen wenn sie (noch) lokal vorhanden sind, auch wenn sync_delete und expunge gesetzt sind...</p>

I'd found a hack with manually adding the offenders' UIDs to skip lists but manual intervention is a pain.</p><p>Trying out <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/isync" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>isync</span></a> (aka mbsync) instead and already impressed by 1) easy config, 2) useful and minimal UI and 3) speeeeed.</p><p>isync's speed is hitting gmail IMAP quota issues, but that was a gig or so into a multithreaded sync -- so it goes.</p>

Rince<p>Okay, jetzt habe ich mal <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/mbsync" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mbsync</span></a> ausprobiert. Ja, es ist schneller. Aber es synct irgenwdie längst nicht alle Folder und bringt komische Fehlermeldungen (INBOX will er nicht aufmachen, einige Folder kann er lokal nicht öffnen, ...) das geht wohl wieder Richtung <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/offlineimap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>offlineimap</span></a></p>
