autorefresh with preauthtunnel?

[martin f krafft <madduck@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am trying to experiment with autorefresh, but found that
offlineimap seems to ignore it. I am using preauthtunnel to create
an SSH tunnel through which I then run imapd directly. I tried
putting autorefresh into [general], the [Account ] stanza, as well
as the remote [Repository ] stanza, but in all cases, offlineimap
would just exit after a single run. -o is not being passed. Here are
the relevant settings:
autorefresh = 600
holdconnectionopen = yes
keepalive = 60

Any idea what's going on?

half a bee, philosophically, must ipso facto half not be.
but half the bee has got to be, vis-a-vis its entity. you see?
but can a bee be said to be or not to be an entire bee,
when half the bee is not a bee, due to some ancient injury?
