I have been battling bugs in Python's TK interface for years, and this
sounds exactly like that sort of thing I've seen.  You might try the
console blinkenlights interface.  I suspect it will work fine for you,
and that the bug is really in python-tk.  Unfortunately, there's not
much I can do about that.

Bug#280692: this is reproducible

[Vincent McIntyre]

Package: offlineimap
Version: 4.0.9
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***

I can reproduce this, though not always at the same point in the transfer.

My setup is as follows

 server: ms exchange 2000 version 6.0.6603.0
 On the server I have two folders in the listed in the rc file,
 the first with about 27,000 messages the second with about 7,000.

 client: offlineimap-4.0.9, Maildir format
 I start in a clean slate, only .offlineimaprc and empty ~/Test maildir
 (just a directory at this point).

With the Tk.Blinkenlights it fails out pretty early, after a few
hundred messages. The virtual memory utilisation is about 230Mb when
it dies, on a host with 1Gb and about 2Gb swap.

With TTY.TTYUI I can get through both folders cleanly.
Does this mean the segfault is really in Tk?

One thing I'm puzzled about is that only the local Maildir tree is
created on the first time through, not the LocalStatus dir. The latter
does not get created until the next sync attempt. Perhaps this is the
famed algorithm at work?

I have a bunch of -d imap -l output to support this report but I'd prefer
to send that privately for analysis. So let me know what you want.

Cheers!

Hi John

I was just interested in helping confirm the problem is localised to Tk.
If that's not necessary I'll shut up.

..
 sounds exactly like that sort of thing I've seen.  You might try the
 console blinkenlights interface.  I suspect it will work fine for you,
 and that the bug is really in python-tk.  Unfortunately, there's not
 much I can do about that.

in fact,
% offlineimap -u CURSES.BLINKENLIGHTS -d imap -l logfile
fails with:
ERROR: No UIs were found usable!
so I gave up on it; TTY.TTYUI works well enough.

I have
  libncurses4 (4.2-10)
  libncurses5 (5.4-4)
  libncurses5-dev (5.4-4)
installed. Let me know if I should open a separate bug for this.

Cheers
Vince
