Package: offlineimap Version: 6.3.4-1+kibi1 Severity: critical Justification: causes serious data loss
Hi, Looking at a way to stay below my mail quota, I've thought of using offlineimap's "maxage" feature, which is advertised like this: # Messages older than maxage days will not be synced, their flags will # not be changed, they will not be deleted etc. For offlineimap it will be like these # messages do not exist. This will perform an IMAP search in the case of IMAP or Gmail # and therefor requires that the server support server side searching. This will # calculate the earliest day that would be included in the search and include all # messages from that day until today. e.g. maxage = 3 to sync only the last 3 days mail Except… deleting a few mails from 2015 on the server with a little python script using imaplib, and running offlineimap again leads to… the same mails getting deleted from my laptop! Given the maxage param was set to 90, I *think* 31-Dec-2015 happened before 90 days ago, so clearly not a timezone thing. Expected results: mails aren't on the server anymore (I deleted them explicitly) BUT they're still on my laptop. KiBi.
