<div>For testing my config I tried to sync the 'sent' "folder" of a gmail box to<br>
update a copy of my actual local copy so that if it fails it doesn't mess it<br>
up. I usually use getmail and the pop server of gmail to get new emails. As<br>
the job was slow and there were a lot of emails I left it running and at some<br>
point I did my usual emails check and noticed that getmail was redownloading<br>
some messages from the 'sent' folder. These messages were those already<br>
processed by offlineimap during its progression at the time getmail was<br>
running. So it seems offlineimap is changing messages flag to 'new' once<br>
processed. I was expecting a change from 'new' to 'read' to unread messages<br>
and no change to read ones. Obviously I interrupted the process. The same<br>
problem occurs when using offlineimap with '-q' option.<br>
<br>
When I say "message processed" I just mean that offline imap checked it to<br>
see whether or not it already exists locally and copy if not.<br>
<br>
I should also mention that offlineimap actually copied all messages it found<br>
disregarding whether or not they were already existing locally. By exploring<br>
that folder with mutt I noticed a lot of duplicate messages appeared.<br>
<br>
Below is a copy of my offlineimap config file:<br>
