it's a matter of having all the mailbox related settings in one file
only.

i employed the word "import", but it's abusively, actually i meant
that it seems only one file can be assigned to "pythonfile" variable.
As i said in my op, i prefer to spread the functions across several
python files. And i tried with making one file in which i imported
all the necessary functions from the different python files and i
assigned this one file to "pythonfile" in offlineimap rc file but
offlineimap complains not knowing the corresponding functions when
used.
