[general]

# This specifies where offlineimap is to store its metadata.
# This directory will be created if it does not already exist.

metadata = ~/.offlineimap

# This variable specifies which accounts are defined.  Separate them
# with commas.  Account names should be alphanumeric only.
# You will need to specify one section per account below.  You may
# not use "general" for an account name.
#

accounts = Test

# You can have offlineimap continue running indefinately, automatically
# syncing your mail periodically.  If you want that, specify how
# frequently to do that (in minutes) here.

# autorefresh = 5

# Offlineimap can synchronize more the one account at a time.  If you
# want to enable this feature, set the below value to something
# greater than 1.  To force it to synchronize only one account at a
# time, leave it at 1.
#

[mbnames]

# offlineimap can record your mailbox names in a format you specify.
# You can define the header, each mailbox item, the separator,
# and the footer.  Here is an example for Mutt.
# If enabled is yes, all six setting must be specified, even if they
# are just the empty string "".
#
# The header, peritem, sep, and footer are all Python expressions passed
# through eval, so you can (and must) use Python quoting.

########## Basic settings

# Specify local repository.  Your IMAP folders will be synchronized
# to maildirs created under this path.  OfflineIMAP will create the
# maildirs for you as needed.

localfolders = ~/Test

# Specify the remote hostname.
remotehost = examplehost

# Whether or not to use SSL.
ssl = yes

# Specify the port.  If not specified, use a default port.
# remoteport = 993

# Specify the remote user name.
remoteuser = username

# There are three ways to specify the password for the remote IMAP
# server:
#
# 1. No password at all specified in the config file.  You will
#    be prompted for the password when OfflineIMAP starts.
#
# 2. The remote password stored in this file with the remotepass
#    option. Example:
#
# remotepass = mypassword
#
# 3. The remote password stored as a single line in an external
#    file, which is referenced by the remotefile option.  Example:
#
# remotepassfile = ~/Password.IMAP.Account1
#
# 4. With a preauth tunnel.  With this method, you invoke an external
# program that is guaranteed *NOT* to ask for a password, but rather
# to read from stdin and write to stdout an IMAP procotol stream
# that begins life in the PREAUTH state.  When you use a tunnel,
# you do NOT specify a user or password (if you do, they'll be
# ignored.)  Instead, you specify a preauthtunnel, as this
# example illustrates for Courier IMAP on Debian:
#
# preauthtunnel = ssh -q imaphost '/usr/bin/imapd ./Maildir'
#

########## Advanced settings


# Some IMAP servers need a "reference" which often refers to the
# "folder root".  This is most commonly needed with UW IMAP, where
# you might need to specify the directory in which your mail is
# stored.  Most users will not need this.
#
# reference = Mail

# You can specify a folder translator.  This must be a eval-able
# Python expression that takes a foldername arg and returns the new
# value.  I suggest a lambda.  This example below will remove "INBOX." from
# the leading edge of folders (great for Courier IMAP users)
#
# WARNING: you MUST construct this such that it NEVER returns
# the same value for two folders, UNLESS the second values are
# filtered out by folderfilter below.  Failure to follow this rule
# will result in undefined behavior
#
# nametrans = lambda foldername: re.sub('^INBOX.', '', foldername)

# You can specify which folders to sync.  You can do it several ways.
# I'll provide some examples.  The folderfilter operates on the
# *UNTRANSLATED* name, if you specify nametrans.  It should return
# true if the folder is to be included; false otherwise.
#
# Example 1: synchronizing only INBOX and Sent.
#
# folderfilter = lambda foldername: foldername in ['INBOX', 'Sent']
#
# Example 2: synchronizing everything except Trash.
#
# folderfilter = lambda foldername: foldername not in ['Trash']
#
# Example 3: Using a regular expression to exclude Trash and all folders
# containing the characters "Del".
#
# folderfilter = lambda foldername: not re.search('(^Trash$|Del)', foldername)
#
# If folderfilter is not specified, ALL remote folders will be
# synchronized.
#
# You can span multiple lines by indenting the others.  (Use backslashes
# at the end when required by Python syntax)  For instance:
#
# folderfilter = lambda foldername: foldername in
#        ['INBOX', 'Sent Mail', 'Deleted Items',
#         'Received']
#
# FYI, you could also include every folder with:
#
# folderfilter = lambda foldername: 1
#
# And exclude every folder with:
#
# folderfilter = lambda foldername: 0

# You can specify folderincludes to include additional folders.
# It should return a Python list.  This might be used to include a
# folder that was excluded by your folderfilter rule, to include a
# folder that your server does not specify with its LIST option, or
# to include a folder that is outside your basic reference.  Some examples:
#
# To include debian.user and debian.personal:
#
# folderincludes = ['debian.user', 'debian.personal']
#
# To include your INBOX (UW IMAPd users will find this useful if they
# specify a reference):
#
# folderincludes = ['INBOX']
#
# To specify a long list:
#
# folderincludes = ['box1', 'box2', 'box3', 'box4',
#                   'box5', 'box6']


# OfflineIMAP can use multiple connections to the server in order
# to perform multiple synchronization actions simultaneously.
# This may place a higher burden on the server.  In most cases,
# setting this value to 2 or 3 will speed up the sync, but in some
# cases, it may slow things down.  The safe answer is 1.  You should
# probably never set it to a value more than 5.

maxconnections = 1

# OfflineIMAP normally closes IMAP server connections between refreshes if
# the global option autorefresh is specified.  If you wish it to keep the
# connection open, set this to true.  If not specified, the default is
# false.  Keeping the connection open means a faster sync start the
# next time and may use fewer server resources on connection, but uses
# more server memory.  This setting has no effect if autorefresh is not set.

holdconnectionopen = no

# If you want to have "keepalives" sent while waiting between syncs,
# specify the amount of time IN SECONDS between keepalives here.  Note that
# sometimes more than this amount of time might pass, so don't make it
# tight.  This setting has no effect if autorefresh and holdconnectionopen
# are not both set.

# keepalive = 60
