Hi
I'm trying to use Evolution with offlineimap.
The problem is that I can't get them to agree they on names of folders:
My configuration is:
################################################
[general]
accounts = lemon
[Account lemon]
localrepository = Local
remoterepository = Remote-lemon
[Repository Local]
type = Maildir
localfolders = ~/Mail
#sep = "/"
#sep = "."
[Repository Remote-lemon]
type = IMAP
remotehost = lemon
remoteuser =
preauthtunnel = ssh -q lemon '/usr/local/bin/imap-local'
################################################
Evolution is configured to use ~/Mail as a local Maildir. Both are from
Debian Wheezy:
evolution 3.4.4-2
offlineimap 6.3.4-1
1. The INBOX is copied by offlineimap to ~/Mail/INBOX . Evolution
expects to find it directly under ~/Mail. Workaround: three symlinks.
2. Evolution expects to find mail folder foo as ~/Mail/.foo .
offlineimap places it as ~/Mail/foo . From what I saw in a brief look at
offlineimap this is not configurable (and the behaviour of evolution is
not configurable either).
I can symlink here as well, I guess, but I'll forget to do it at some
point after adding a folder. Any better way?
