Is it possible to configure offlineimap to ignore emacs lock 
files? When I have a draft open in emacs offlineimap fails with an 
error such as this:

2015-12-05 03:33:38 WARNING: ERROR: ERROR in syncfolder for 
[acct-removed] folder Drafts: Traceback (most recent call last): 
  File 
  "/usr/local/Cellar/offline-imap/6.6.0/libexec/offlineimap/accounts.py", 
  line 575, in syncfolder 
    localfolder.syncmessagesto(remotefolder, statusfolder) 
  File 
  "/usr/local/Cellar/offline-imap/6.6.0/libexec/offlineimap/folder/Base.py",

    rtime = self.getmessagetime(uid) 
  File 
  "/usr/local/Cellar/offline-imap/6.6.0/libexec/offlineimap/folder/Maildir.py", 
  line 266, in getmessagetime 
    return os.path.getmtime(filepath) 
  File 
  "/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.10_2/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/genericpath.py", 
  line 62, in getmtime 
    return os.stat(filename).st_mtime 
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 
'/[path-removed]/Drafts/cur/.#1449285070.a2f54ffc8b313375.stubbs:2,DS' 
It would seem this could be avoided if I could configure 
offlineimap to ignore files matching the re "\.#.*", or by having 
it ignore dot files in general while syncing.

Thanks,
Chris.
