Sebastian Spaeth 325dd833ba Make a main class OfflineImap that is being called
Rather than calling a function in a module, invoke offlineimap by
calling an OfflineImap object.

This removes code lying outside of objects; I prefer to keep code
within an object and provides us with a nicer Object encapsulation.

It will also ease the testing of Object functionality in unittests
when they are introduced.

Previously we would import and start Offlineimap like this:

from offlineimap import init
init.startup('6.2.0')

now we do:
from offlineimap import OfflineImap

offlineimap = OfflineImap()
offlineimap.startup('6.2.0')

Description

Welcome to the official OfflineIMAP project.

OfflineIMAP is a tool to simplify your e-mail reading. With OfflineIMAP, you can read the same mailbox from multiple 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 also useful if you want to use a mail reader that does not have IMAP support, has poor IMAP support, or does not provide disconnected operation.

OfflineIMAP works on pretty much any POSIX operating system, such as Linux, BSD operating systems, MacOS X, Solaris, etc.

OfflineIMAP is a Free Software project licensed under the GNU General Public License. You can download it for free, and you can modify it. In fact, you are encouraged to contribute to OfflineIMAP, and doing so is fast and easy.

This software was written by John Goerzen, who retired from maintaining. It is now maintained by Nicolas Sebrecht.
