Tracing a problem email?

Hi there

Offlineimap has been working flawlessly for me for ages. However, after
sending/moving some emails on the mail server via my ISP's web-based
interface, I've run into troubles.

Basically I've deleted all local mail, deleted the offlineimap cache (is that
what it is? database?) and set it to run again.

However it is now stumbling over a message. I can see that it goes down when
trying to copy Message 524. Is there anyway I can see what this actual email
is that is causing the troubles? If I knew what it was I could forward it to
another accoutn, then delete it perhaps.

Any clues appreciated.

Re: Tracing a problem email?

Hello Richard,

The easiest way is to probably run offlineimap -d imap -1 -u TTY.TTYUI.

It will then log everything it does to the screen, and the last message
logged should be the one that is causing the problem.

Also, do you have the exact error message you are getting?

Hi Per,

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you.

I have heard occasional reports of unusual crashes with the Tk
interfaces.  OfflineIMAP is 100% pure Python, so any segfault would be
indicitive of a bug in Tkinter, the Python Tk toolkit.  Unfortunately,
debugging problems in Tkinter is quite the challenge.  So if you, or
anyone else, happens to see this again, here are some helpful data
points to note:

* Any pattern to the behavior?  For instance, does it happen immediately
  after starting a sync, during a sync, when clicking a button?

* Save off any core file and get what you can from it with gdb.  A
  debugging version of Python may help.

* Do you get the behavior if you run OfflineIMAP with -1?

* Which UIs trigger the problem?

* Can you reproduce the problem at will?

* When sending in information here or to the Python/Tkinter folks,
  please note all of the following: operating system name and version,
  kernel version, Python version, Python source (ie, compiled it

offlineimap in backup mode

Hello

I use offlineimap two places: one is where I backup an imap server by moving 
everything to another imap server. The other is where I backup an imap server 
by moving everything to a local Maildir structure.

At the moment these two ways run fine, but as i am nervous of loosing mail I 
wan't to hear, is it possible to run these two offlineimap tasks in some kind 
of 'backup-mode' where it only moves mail from one server and to the other 
(but not back), and it is not allowed to change anything on the main server?
