To save space, users only get to keep <br />the emails of the past three months in the Sent folder.<br /><br />Now I thought I could deal with that by having a local copy of the whole IMAP <br />folder structure, however, offlineimap deletes everything locally that is <br />deleted remotely.<br /><br />I would like to do a simple backup, I don't ever do anything with the local <br />Maildir folder. I just want it to be there so I can look up mail that is older <br />than three months.<br
/><br />Any chance?<br /><br />I already know about the realdelete parameter but that does not seem to do <br />what I want.</blockquote><br />Sounds like you just want to get your mail (using a standard "mail<br />retrieval agent" [1]. The most common, of course, is fetchmail[2], but<br />apparently getmail[3] is also gaining traction (though I've never used<br />getmail; I'm still happily on fetchmail where needed).<br /><br />Hope that helps.<br /><br />1 - <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mail_retrieval_agent">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mail_retrieval_agent</a><br />2 - <a href="http://www.fetchmail.info">http://www.fetchmail.info</a>/<br />3 - <a href="http://pyropus.ca/software/getmail">http://pyropus.ca/software/getmail</a>/<br /></pre></blockquote></div><br>
