`OfflineIMAP`_ also ships a file named `offlineimap.conf.minimal` that you can
also try. It's useful if you want to get started with the most basic feature
set, and you can read about other features later with `offlineimap.conf`.
===============
Uninstall
===============
If you installed a system-wide installation via "python setup.py
install", there are a few files to purge to uninstall it again. I assume
that /usr/local is the standard prefix that your system and you use
python 2.7. Adapt to your system. In that case you need to:
1) Delete:
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/offlineimap-6.4.4.egg-info
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/offlineimap
2) Delete the cache at (default location) ~/.offlineimap
Delete your manually created (default loc) ~/.offlineimaprc
(It is possible that you created those in different spots)
That's it. Have fun without OfflineImap.
