Package: offlineimap
Version: 6.5.5-0.1
Severity: important
I'm using offlineimap to sync a remote IMAP server against a local
Dovecot instance on my work PC. With the newest offlineimap in Debian,
when I start the program in the morning any messages that arrived
on the remote IMAP during the night (when my work PC was shut off and
no syncing was taking place) are not synced; offlineimap exits
immediately if autorefresh is not enabled.
If IMAP IDLE is enabled in offlineimap, offlineimap is running,
and new mail arrives in a remote folder that is being watched by
IDLE, then everything in that folder (i.e., messages that have
been present on the remote side but have not yet been synced to
the local side due to the issue mentioned above, as well as the
newly incoming mail that triggered the IDLE) is synced. However,
sending e-mail to myself every morning just to get offlineimap
to sync that night's messages does not sound like a reasonable
long-term strategy.
The previous version (6.5.4-2) works fine.
Here's a sanitised version of my $HOME/.offlineimaprc file
(sans passwords and server names):
