read-only remove account for one-way sync

[Tom Fernandes]

Hi,

I would like to one-way-sync an account from an old courier server (remote:imap) 
to dovecot (local:maildir). i.e. if delete or move some messages on the local 
repo I would like to have an exact copy of the remote repo locally again after 
doing the sync.

When using "readonly = TRUE" in the remote repo I would expect offlineimap not 
to try to write either mails nor folders to the remote repo. From looking at the 
logs it does try to though.

It also seems to not sync anything (remote -> local) like this. I deleted some 
mails on the local repo (via IMAP and filesystem) and when running offlineimap 
it does not copy the mails from remote back to local again.

Is this a bug or am I misunderstanding or missing something?

warm regards,


Tom
