Re: not writable

I've noticed this happen frequently on the INBOX directory of Gmail
accounts.

The following debug snippet seems to show it switches between
"READ-WRITE" and "READ" statuses:

---

Folder INBOX [acc: gmail]:
 DEBUG[imap]:   38:47.91 Folder INBOX [acc: gmail] [sync] SELECT ('INBOX',)

...except that the log file gets overwritten every time offlineimap is 
restarted.  Maybe some people would want it to do that, but for me, the 
following 1-character patch fixes it:

gmail -> offlineimap -> (local imap) -> alpine (under Ubuntu)

Hello. I am looking for fellow (r)(al)pine users (alpine is a mail client) 
simple instructions or at least sympathizers. I desperately want 
instructions for how to use alpine with a local copy of a gmail account. 
I have been doing this for years by compiling a patched version of alpine 
that can talk to maildir, but this is no longer working ("upgrade", I 
believe is the word for that).

So I simply want:

(1) a recommendation for which lightweight local IMAP server to install

(2) details for how to install it and make it talk to offlineimap (which 
currently syncs my gmail account) and alpine.

I think this should be easy, but I haven't figured it out. I want to do it 
under Ubuntu using just the standardly available packages.
Can anyone help me?? I'd actually gladly pay for the support, and will 
certainly write up a how-to if I get it going.

Many thanks,
Chris

Re: gmail -> offlineimap -> (local imap) -> alpine (under Ubuntu)

To clarify my own post, what I described is actually not my ideal outcome. 
I would rather keep the existing maildir folder that offlineimap made and 
has been using for years. What would then be best is if a local imap 
server could mediate between that and alpine. So it would look more like 
this:

  gmail -> offlineimap -> maildir -> (local imap) -> alpine

This may be something like

http://blob.inf.ed.ac.uk/gdutton/2009/01/offlineimap/

but these instructions are both too complex for me and are for a Mac.

Thanks,
Chris

I haven't used alpine for a long time.  I used to use it (and pine before that), but then about 4 years ago, I
transitioned to mutt.  Once I got things tweaked right, I was happier with mutt then I ever was with alpine. 
Not to start a war or anything, but mutt reads maildir just fine.  I used it with offlineimap for the past four years.

I chose maildir for the exact reason you are alluding to: if I ever decided to change mail clients again, I
could just run a local imap server on my existing maildirs and just serve my messages to the new client that
way, assuming they didn't read maildir directly.  Just this week I started testing this out (again) with
dovecot and OS X Mail.  It works very nice.  Dovecot is relatively easy to set up.

Re: gmail -> offlineimap -> (local imap) -> alpine (under Ubuntu)


Thanks. Yes, I have mutt working. I don't like the two-stage composition. 
I'm faster in alpine.

I wish you could help me with a pointer, if setup is so easy. After 
another two hours of trying, I haven't got it. I would be so grateful if 
someone could just tell me how to set up pine with dovecot? Or point me to 
instructions?

How would I produce that for you?  I just have the regular output from
Offlineimap.
