-<h2 id="BasicQuestions">Basic Questions</h2>
-<h3 id="WheredoIgetOfflineIMAP">Where do I get OfflineIMAP?</h3>
-<p>
-From its <a href="/offlineimap/downloads">downloads page</a>.
-</p>
-<h3 id="Howfastisit">How fast is it?</h3>
-<p>
-OfflineIMAP has a multithreaded sync, so it should have very nice performance.
-</p>
-<p>
-OfflineIMAP versions 2.0 and above contain a multithreaded system. A good way
to experiment is by setting maxsyncaccounts to 3 and maxconnections to 3 in
each account clause.
-</p>
-<p>
-This lets OfflineIMAP open up multiple connections simultaneously. That will
let it process multiple folders and messages at once. In most cases, this will
increase performance of the sync.
-</p>
-<p>
-Don't set the number too high. If you do that, things might actually slow down
as your link gets saturated. Also, too many connections can cause mail servers
to have excessive load. Administrators might take unkindly to this, and the
server might bog down. There are many variables in the optimal setting;
experimentation may help.
-</p>
-<p>
-An informal benchmark yields these results for my setup:
-</p>
-<ul><li>10 minutes with MacOS X Mail.app "manual cache"
-</li><li>5 minutes with GNUS agent sync
-</li><li>20 seconds with OfflineIMAP 1.x
-</li><li>9 seconds with OfflineIMAP 2.x
-</li><li>3 seconds with OfflineIMAP 3.x "cold start"
-</li><li>2 seconds with OfflineIMAP 3.x "held connection"
-</li></ul><h3 id="WhatplatformsdoesOfflineIMAPsupport">What platforms does
OfflineIMAP support?</h3>
-<p>
-It should run on most platforms supported by Python, which are quite a few. I
do not support Windows myself, but some have made it work there.
-</p>
-<h4 id="UseonWindows">Use on Windows</h4>
-<p>
-These answers have been reported by OfflineIMAP users. I do not run
OfflineIMAP on Windows myself, so I can't directly address their accuracy.
-</p>
-<p>
-The basic answer is that it's possible and doesn't require hacking OfflineIMAP
source code. However, it's not necessarily trivial. The information below is
based in instructions submitted by Chris Walker.
-</p>
-<p>
-First, you must run OfflineIMAP in the <a class="ext-link"
href="http://www.cygwin.com/";><span class="icon">Cygwin</span></a> environment.
The Windows filesystem is not powerful enough to accomodate Maildir by itself.
-</p>
-<p>
-Next, you'll need to mount your Maildir directory in a special way. There is
information for doing that at <a class="ext-link"
href="http://barnson.org/node/view/295";><span
class="icon">http://barnson.org/node/view/295</span></a>. That site gives this
example:
-</p>
-<pre class="wiki">mount -f -s -b -o managed "d:/tmp/mail" "/home/of/mail"
-</pre><p>
-
-That URL also has more details on making OfflineIMAP work with Windows.
-</p>
-<h3 id="DoesOfflineIMAPsupportmboxmhoranythingelseotherthanMaildir">Does
OfflineIMAP support mbox, mh, or anything else other than Maildir?</h3>
-<p>
-Not directly. Maildir was the easiest to implement. I'm not planning to
write mbox code for OfflineIMAP, though if someone sent me well-written mbox
support and pledged to support it, I'd commit it to the tree.
-</p>
-<p>
-However, OfflineIMAP can directly sync accounts on two different IMAP servers
together. So you could install an IMAP server on your local machine that
supports mbox, sync to it, and then instruct your mail readers to use the
mboxes.
-</p>
-<p>
-Or you could install whatever IMAP server you like on the local machine, and
point your mail readers to that IMAP server on localhost.
-</p>
-<h3 id="HowdoIaddordeleteafolder">How do I add or delete a folder?</h3>
-<p>
-OfflineIMAP does not currently provide this feature. However, if you create a
new folder on the remote server, OfflineIMAP will detect this and create the
corresponding folder locally automatically.
-</p>
-<h3 id="DoesOfflineIMAPsupportPOP">Does OfflineIMAP support POP?</h3>
-<p>
-No. POP is not robust enough to do a completely reliable multi-machine sync
like OfflineIMAP can do.
-</p>
-<p>
-OfflineIMAP will never support POP.
-</p>
-<h2 id="ConfigurationQuestions">Configuration Questions</h2>
-<h3 id="CanIsynchronizemultipleaccountswithOfflineIMAP">Can I synchronize
multiple accounts with OfflineIMAP?</h3>
-<p>
-Of course!
-</p>
-<p>
-Just name them all in the accounts line in the general section of the
configuration file, and add a per-account section for each one.
-</p>
-<p>
-You can also optionally use the -a option when you run OfflineIMAP to request
that it only operate upon a subset of the accounts for a particular run.
-</p>
-<h3 id="HowdoIspecifythenamesoffolders">How do I specify the names of
folders?</h3>
-<p>
-You do not need to. OfflineIMAP is smart enough to automatically figure out
what folders are present on the IMAP server and synchronize them. You can use
the folderfilter and nametrans configuration file options to request only
certain folders and rename them as they come in if you like.
-</p>
-<h3 id="HowdoIpreventcertainfoldersfrombeingsynced">How do I prevent certain
folders from being synced?</h3>
-<p>
-Use the folderfilter option.
-</p>
-<h3 id="Whatisthemailboxnamerecordermbnamesfor">What is the mailbox name
recorder (mbnames) for?</h3>
-<p>
-Some mail readers, such as mutt, are not capable of automatically determining
the names of your mailboxes. OfflineIMAP can help these programs by writing
the names of the folders in a format you specify. See the example
offlineimap.conf for details.
-</p>
-<h2 id="IMAPServerNotes">IMAP Server Notes</h2>
-<p>
-In general, OfflineIMAP works with any IMAP server that provides compatibility
with the IMAP RFCs. Some servers provide imperfect compatibility that may be
good enough for general clients. OfflineIMAP needs more features, specifically
support for UIDs, in order to do its job accurately and completely.
-</p>
-<h3 id="MicrosoftExchange">Microsoft Exchange</h3>
-<p>
-Several users have reported problems with Microsoft Exchange servers in
conjunction with OfflineIMAP. This generally seems to be related to the
Exchange servers not properly following the IMAP standards.
-</p>
-<p>
-Mark Biggers has posted some <a class="ext-link"
href="http://lists.complete.org/offlineimap@xxxxxxxxxxxx/2005/09/msg00011.html.gz";><span
class="icon">information</span></a> to the OfflineIMAP mailing list about how
he made it work.
-</p>
-<p>
-Other users have indicated that older (5.5) releases of Exchange are so bad
that they will likely not work at all.
-</p>
-<p>
-I do not have access to Exchange servers for testing, so any problems with it,
if they can even be solved at all, will require help from OfflineIMAP users to
find and fix.
-</p>
-<h2 id="ClientNotes">Client Notes</h2>
-<h3 id="WhatclientsdoesOfflineIMAPworkwith">What clients does OfflineIMAP work
with?</h3>
-<p>
-Any client that supports Maildir. Popular ones include mutt, Evolution,
Thunderbird, and KMail.
-</p>
-<p>
-With OfflineIMAP's IMAP-to-IMAP syncing, this can be even wider; see the next
question.
-</p>
-<h3 id="Evolution">Evolution</h3>
-<p>
-OfflineIMAP can work with Evolution. To do so, first configure your
OfflineIMAP account to have <tt>sep = /</tt> in its configuration. Then,
configure Evolution with the "Maildir-format mail directories" server type. For
the path, you will need to specify the name of the top-level folder
<i>inside</i> your OfflineIMAP storage location. You're now set!
-</p>
-<h3 id="KMail">KMail</h3>
-<p>
-At this time, I believe that OfflineIMAP with Maildirs is not compatible with
KMail. KMail cannot work in any mode other than to move all messages out of all
folders immediately, which (besides being annoying and fundamentally broken) is
incompatible with OfflineIMAP.
-</p>
-<p>
-However, I have made KMail version 3 work well with OfflineIMAP by installing
an IMAP server on my local machine, having OfflineIMAP sync to that, and
pointing KMail at the same server.
-</p>
-<h3 id="Mutt">Mutt</h3>
-<h4 id="DoIneedtousesetmaildir_trash">Do I need to use set maildir_trash?</h4>
-<p>
-Other IMAP sync programs require you to do this. OfflineIMAP does not.
You'll get the best results without it, in fact, though turning it on won't
hurt anything.
-</p>
-<h4 id="HowdoIsetupmbnameswithmutt">How do I set up mbnames with mutt?</h4>
-<p>
-The example offlineimap.conf file has this example. In your offlineimap.conf,
you'll list this:
-</p>
-<pre class="wiki">[mbnames]
-enabled = yes
-filename = ~/Mutt/muttrc.mailboxes
-header = "mailboxes "
-peritem = "+%(accountname)s/%(foldername)s"
-sep = " "
-footer = "\n"
-</pre><p>
-Then in your .muttrc:
-</p>
-<pre class="wiki">source ~/Mutt/muttrc.mailboxes
-</pre><p>
-You might also want to set:
-</p>
-<pre class="wiki">set mbox_type=Maildir
-set folder=$HOME/Maildirpath
-</pre><p>
-The OfflineIMAP manual has a more detailed example for doing this for multiple
accounts.
-</p>
-<h2 id="MiscellaneousQuestions">Miscellaneous Questions</h2>
-<h3 id="WhyareyourMaildirmessagefilenamessolong">Why are your Maildir message
filenames so long?</h3>
-<p>
-OfflineIMAP has two relevant principles: 1) never modifying your messages in
any way and 2) ensuring 100% reliable synchronizations. In order to do a
reliable sync, OfflineIMAP must have a way to uniquely identify each e-mail.
Three pieces of information are required to do this: your account name, the
folder name, and the message UID. The account name can be calculated from the
path in which your messages are. The folder name can usually be as well, BUT
some mail clients move messages between folders by simply moving the file,
leaving the name intact.
-</p>
-<p>
-So, OfflineIMAP must store both a UID folder ID. The folder ID is necessary so
OfflineIMAP can detect a message moved to a different folder. OfflineIMAP
stores the UID (U= number) and an md5sum of the foldername (FMD5= number) to
facilitate this.
