license issue

Hi all (especially John),
I've just read that:
http://blog.pierlux.com/2009/05/12/pythons-hidden-poissoned-apple-for-gpl-applications/en/

and it seems

a) to be valid
b) to apply to offlineimap as well

any comments?

I'll propably need to get fedora-legal on that.

regards

christoph

I have not made an extensive analysis, BUT...

the GPL is mainly concerned with linking.  OfflineIMAP is written in
100% Python, and as such does not link to OpenSSL.  My belief is that it
is Python that links to OpenSSL, and thus Python that is bound by that
restriction, not OfflineIMAP.

OfflineIMAP uses a fairly simplistic Python API.  IIRC, it is not even
documented whether that API is guaranteed to correspond to OpenSSL.

Further, the blog post seems fairly non-credible.  The cited license
snippet appears to apply to people the distribute OpenSSL itself, not
link to it.  Again, OfflineIMAP doesn't link to it.

does offlineimap do a one way sync or a full download?

Dear all,

I've been a fan of offlineimap for almost two years, but am facing a bit
of a dilemma.  My system synchronises between two external IMAP servers
and a local Dovecot IMAP server that holds the mails.  Due to filesystem
corruption, my .offlineimap directory was damaged and I've had to delete
it.  The mailstore and Dovecot were on a different partition so there
was no damage to them.  The two stores are essentially identical except
for a difference of some 100 odd emails that have arrived in the interim
(the store as a whole contains around 7000).  My question is this: if I
run offlineimap now between the mailstores, will it sync them and only
download the new messages, or will it download the entire external store
and duplicate the messages?

Many thanks,

Shankar Gopalakrishnan

I would expect you to see duplicate messages in that scenario, but I'm
not completely positive.

Re: [PATCH] fix ssl deprecation warning

That patch was
a) wrong direction
b) wrong branch

I'll fix that

I haven't heard of this before, but I would suggest you start with
running offlineimap -d imap -1

This will log the raw SMTP conversation.  If you see the trailing ">"
missing, then you will know you have a problem with either the server or
some low-level local networking libraries (outside OfflineIMAP).

Otherwise, the debugging output may still be useful.  I'd start there.

[my first mail didn't make it, it seems. Resending]

I checked out the latest version for IDLE support.

I've been having issues with it. For now I disabled the IDLE code and I
still get things like this:
