QuickSync Question

I am running dovecot IMAP on two machines, my laptop and a server, and usin=
g=20
offlineimap 5.99.4 to synchronise 4 accounts via IMAP-IMAP. E-mail is=20
delivered to the server inbox and then synced to the laptop inbox. I have s=
et=20
up different times for synchronising each account, as some are more importa=
nt=20
than others.

With my main accounts, I want to do a full sync every hour and a quick sync=
=20
(primarily to sync the Inboxes) every two minutes. So in my account=20
configuration I have the following:

     # Perform a full re-sync every 60 minutes.
     autorefresh =3D 60

     # Perform quick syncs (folder changes, new or deleted messages)=20
     # every 2 minutes =3D=3D 30 times between full syncs
     quick =3D 30

The full sync works fine, but nothing is synced to the laptop inbox in-betw=
een=20
full syncs.=20

part of a quick sync:

That's what is supposed to happen, but I only tested Courier.  Could
you turn on debugging and capture the output of a quick sync that did
nothing, but should have synced a message?

Re: QuickSync Question

Hi Daniel,
I tried this with just one account, to keep the logs clear,and turned on imap 
and thread debugging. It seems that after the full sync nothing happens. I 
waited several minutes, and sent myself a message to be synced but nothing 
showed up on the screen or in the log. I've included an extract of the 
beginning and end of the logs.

Thanks,
Hugh

Sorry for wasting your time, I should have looked closer at your
config.

I use:

autorefresh = 5
quick = 10

This means "refresh every 5 minutes, but only do a full sync every 10
(11?) refreshes".  Each refresh is either quick or full but they're
still $autorefresh apart.

Re: QuickSync Question

Ah, for some reason I thought these settings worked the opposite way. I've 
made the changes and it seems to be working (though I have no idea how to 
tell a quick sync from a full sync).

Thanks so much for your time,
Hugh

OfflineIMAP and launchd

Has anyone had any success running OfflineIMAP from launchd (now that
crontab is deprecated on OS X)? I somehow can't get the logging to work
and often when I put my notebook computer to sleep, when the computer
awakes offlineimap is not functioning via the launchd job (the pid and
lock files need to be removed from the ~/.offlineimap directory).
Thanks!

Traceback with 5.99.4 is at the end of this mail. Does someone know how to fix

c.stdscr doesn't seem to exist.  Check and see whether it actually
exists in the curses Python bindings; perhaps there's a version
incompatibility.

ui = TTY.TTYUI, Noninteractive.Basic, Noninteractive.Quiet
ignore-readonly = no

[mbnames]
enabled = no
filename = ~/Mutt/muttrc.mailboxes
header = "mailboxes "
peritem = "+%(accountname)s/%(foldername)s"
sep = " "
footer = "\n"

[Account GMail]

localrepository = Local
remoterepository = Remote
autorefresh = 1

[Repository Local]
type = Maildir
