Sets <b>OfflineIMAP</b> into profile mode. The program will
create <b>profiledir</b> (it must not already exist). As it
runs, Python profiling information about each thread is
logged into profiledir. Please note: This option is present
for debugging and optimization only, and should NOT be used
unless you have a specific reason to do so. It will
significantly slow program performance, may reduce
reliability, and can generate huge amounts of data. You must
use the <b>-1</b> option when you use
<b>-P.</b></td></table>

DESCRIPTION
OfflineIMAP is a tool to simplify your e-mail reading.
With OfflineIMAP, you can read the same mailbox from mul-
tiple computers. You get a current copy of your messages
on each computer, and changes you make one place will be
visible on all other systems. For instance, you can
OfflineIMAP is a tool to simplify your e-mail reading.
With OfflineIMAP, you can read the same mailbox from mul-
tiple computers. You get a current copy of your messages
on each computer, and changes you make one place will be
visible on all other systems. For instance, you can
delete a message on your home computer, and it will appear
deleted on your work computer as well. OfflineIMAP is
deleted on your work computer as well. OfflineIMAP is
also useful if you want to use a mail reader that does not
have IMAP support, has poor IMAP support, or does not pro-
vide disconnected operation.
OfflineIMAP is FAST; it synchronizes my two accounts with
over 50 folders in 3 seconds. Other similar tools might
take over a minute, and achieve a less-reliable result.
Some mail readers can take over 10 minutes to do the same
thing, and some don't even support it at all. Unlike
other mail tools, OfflineIMAP features a multi-threaded
synchronization algorithm that can dramatically speed up
performance in many situations by synchronizing several
OfflineIMAP is FAST; it synchronizes my two accounts with

take over a minute, and achieve a less-reliable result.
Some mail readers can take over 10 minutes to do the same
thing, and some don't even support it at all. Unlike
other mail tools, OfflineIMAP features a multi-threaded
synchronization algorithm that can dramatically speed up
performance in many situations by synchronizing several
different things simultaneously.
OfflineIMAP is FLEXIBLE; you can customize which folders
are synced via regular expressions, lists, or Python
expressions; a versatile and comprehensive configuration
file is used to control behavior; two user interfaces are
built-in; fine-tuning of synchronization performance is
possible; internal or external automation is supported;
SSL and PREAUTH tunnels are both supported; offline (or
"unplugged") reading is supported; and esoteric IMAP fea-
tures are supported to ensure compatibility with the
OfflineIMAP is FLEXIBLE; you can customize which folders
are synced via regular expressions, lists, or Python
expressions; a versatile and comprehensive configuration
file is used to control behavior; two user interfaces are
built-in; fine-tuning of synchronization performance is
possible; internal or external automation is supported;
SSL and PREAUTH tunnels are both supported; offline (or
"unplugged") reading is supported; and esoteric IMAP fea-
tures are supported to ensure compatibility with the
widest variety of IMAP servers.
OfflineIMAP is SAFE; it uses an algorithm designed to pre-
vent mail loss at all costs. Because of the design of
this algorithm, even programming errors should not result

Nevertheless, there are a few options that you may set for
OfflineIMAP.

-1 Disable all multithreading operations and use

Sets OfflineIMAP into profile mode. The program

As it runs, Python profiling information about each
thread is logged into profiledir. Please note:
This option is present for debugging and optimiza-
