Re: backup and synchronize to fastmail

[Alejandro Jakubi <jakubi@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have decided to run offlineimap on the foreground for a while (as the issue
with screen might take long), and the results were a failure.

The .offlineimaprc had this form (following previous advice):

===
[general]
accounts = Test

[Account Test]
localrepository = Local
remoterepository = Remote

[Repository Local]
type = IMAP
remotehost = <dept-imap-server>
remoteuser = <dept-username>

[Repository Remote]
type = IMAP
remotehost = mail.messagingengine.com
remoteuser = <fm-username>

sep = /
nametrans = lambda foldername: rs.sub('^INBOX\.', 'mail/', foldername)

ui = TTY.TTYUI

====

I have run both offlineimap 4.0.16 and 5.99.15. Both with option '-l' to
produce a logfile.

I had expected that the passwords would be requested, after this section of
offlineimap.conf:

# There are five ways to give the password for the remote IMAP
# server:
#
# 1. No password at all specified in the config file. If a matching
#    entry is found in ~/.netrc (see netrc (5) for information) the
#    password from the matching entry will be used. Otherwise you
#    will be prompted for the password when OfflineIMAP starts.

but I have got no prompt for them.

So, offlineimap "worked" for a while and then produced an error: (110,
'Connection timed out').

Find below the logfiles.

Why is offlineimap not requesting the paswords?


Regards, Alejandro Jakubi
