mkdir toppath?

[Tom Brown <tom@xxxxxxxxxx>]

When I first setup offlineimap I ran
apt-get install offlineimap
read the quickstart guide and then ran
offlineimap
which exited with a rather unpleasant looking backtrace. After digging
through the bt I realized I need to mkdir the localfolders

I have been changing my IMAP server setup and have often run
rm -fr .offlineimap Test
mkdir Test
offlineimap

Perhaps you could add the following starting at about line 108 of
offlineimap/repository/Maildir.py in the function  _getfolders_scandir

        # Create the top level directory if it doesn't exist
        if not os.path.exists(toppath):
            os.mkdir(toppath)
            self.debug("  mkdir %s" % toppath)

I have not looked at any other offlineimap source and have never
touched python before. Perhaps there is a better place to put this
feature. Comments welcome.


Thanks for making offlineimap,
Tom
