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 Signed-off-by: Nicolas Sebrecht <nicolas.s-dev@laposte.net>

Upgrading to 4.0
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
If you are upgrading from a version of OfflineIMAP prior to 3.99.12, you will
|
|
find that you will get errors when OfflineIMAP starts up (relating to
|
|
ConfigParser or AccountHashGenerator) and the configuration file. This is
|
|
because the config file format had to change to accommodate new features in 4.0.
|
|
Fortunately, it's not difficult to adjust it to suit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
First thing you need to do is stop any running OfflineIMAP instance, making sure
|
|
first that it's synced all your mail. Then, modify your `~/.offlineimaprc` file.
|
|
You'll need to split up each account section (make sure that it now starts with
|
|
"Account ") into two Repository sections (one for the local side and another for
|
|
the remote side.) See the files offlineimap.conf.minimal and offlineimap.conf
|
|
in the distribution if you need more assistance.
|
|
|
|
|
|
OfflineIMAP's status directory area has also changed. Therefore, you should
|
|
delete everything in `~/.offlineimap` as well as your local mail folders.
|
|
|
|
|
|
When you start up OfflineIMAP 4.0, it will re-download all your mail from the
|
|
server and then you can continue using it like normal.
