By default OfflineImap propagates new folders in both
directions. Sometimes this is not what you want. E.g. you might want
new folders on your IMAP server to propagate to your local MailDir,
but not the other way around. The 'readonly' setting on a repository
will not help here, as it prevents any change from occuring on that
repository. This is what the `createfolders` setting is for. By
default it is `True`, meaning that new folders can be created on this
repository. To prevent folders from ever being created on a
repository, set this to `False`. If you set this to False on the
REMOTE repository, you will not have to create the `Reverse
nametrans`_ rules on the LOCAL repository.
Also implement a test for this

Fill in more details on nametrans and folder filtering. Also give them a
separate section in our user documentation. Everything will be
immediately online at docs.offlineimap.org.
The main change is to describe the reverse nametrans settings that are
needed since 6.4.0 to support remote folder creation.

Hi, the following patch updates the documentation. It was a bit out of
context since Sebastian originally just copied it from my webpage.
Also, the code for the helper functions is available there under
"Download". I did not include it because it would leave larger chunks
of python code in the manual which seems weird.

That makes OfflineIMAP to use exclamation mark (!) instead of colon for storing

The SigListener class was used to queue folders that we need to sync and
to receive "resync" and "abort" signals. It was undocumented and weird
and we had to pass "siglisteners" through the whole program.
Simply do away with it, and make 2 functions in the Account() class:
set_abort_event and get_abort_event which can be used to set and check
for such signals. This way we do not need to pass siglisteners all over
the place. Tested Blinkenlights and TTYUI uis to make sure that SIGUSR1
and SIGUSR2 actually still work.
Document those signals in MANUAL.rst. They were completly undocumented.
This simplifies the code and interdependencies by passing less stuff
around. Removes an undocumented and weirdly named class.

The previous ui names were pretty unwieldy. Is it TTYUI.TTY or
TTY.TTYUI? Do I have to use capitals and where?
Simplify the names by making them case insensitive and by dropping
everything before the dot.
So "Curses.Blinkenlights" can now be invoked as "blinkenlights" or
"BLINKENLIGHTS". The old names will still work just fine so the
transition should be smooth. We issue a warning that the long names are
deprecated.
Document in offlineimap.conf that we don't accept lists of fallback UIs,
but only one UI option (this was already the case before this commit but
still wrongly documented).
The list of accepted ui names is:
ttyui (default), basic, quiet, machineui, blinkenlights

This is a great move to help contributors in maintaining documentation.
While doing huge changes in this area, do a bit more than simply SGML to rst:
* move README from markdown to rst
* make a "true" man page with no more information
* refactor content and sections
