Hi, 

Is there any solution to this problem? I have exactly the same issue as

Any idea will be much appreciated.

Speed up gmail message removal

Teto — 2013-05-19T15:16:15

Hi,

Having fought a lot before having a proper working setup (mutt + msmtp
+ offlineimap), I am still puzzled by gmail mechanisms.
I have read this post
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.mail.imap.offlineimap.general/5265
and even if I don't know imap specs I can't help but wonder if it's
not possible to move a mail from Inbox to Trash on the webserver
instead of removing it from Inbox and then reupload it. I want to
delete 15 MB messages but uploading 15MB is hard for my connection and
i have this kind of errors:

[PATCH] mbnames: Allow custom sorting of mailboxes

Johan Herland — 2013-05-19T12:23:48

mutt-sidebar shows mailboxes in the order they are listed in the file
written by mbnames. Therefore, to allow customization of the order with
which mailboxes are listed, introduce the new 'sortkey' directive in
the [mbnames] section.

'sortkey' specifies a function that will be called once for each
mailbox (passing a dict with 2 items: 'accountname' and 'foldername'),
and should return a suitable sort key that mailbox.

If 'sortkey' is not given, we default to the current alphabetical
sorting provided by using (d['accountname'], d['foldername']) as sort
key.

(Please keep me CCed, as I'm not subscribed.)

This is just to scratch my own itch which I encountered while trying to
get offlineimap and mutt-sidebar to play nice together.

I already sent this as a pull request on GitHub [1] before reading the
SubmittingPatches document. Sorry about that.

Have fun! :)

Re: Gmail, Duplicate Messages, All Mail and deletion problem

Geoffrey Ferrari — 2013-05-13T14:54:15

Dear Rainer,

Many thanks for your message.

I can confirm that *normally* all it takes to delete an email from Gmail's All Mail folder via offlineimap is either to delete it (in which case Gmail will delete it) or move it to the Bin/Trash folder (in which case Gmail will also move it to the Bin/Trash).

For some reason, this method didn't work for me with duplicate messages (messages with the same Message-ID header), so I ended up deleting those messages manually. For all normal messages, however, the above method works just fine.

I did discover that there is an important setting Gmail's preferences. In the settings for Forwarding and POP/IMAP there are two sections regarding deletion behaviour: "When I mark a message in IMAP as deleted (Auto-Expunge)" and "When a message is marked as deleted and expunged from the last visible IMAP folder". I have left those settings at their default values with Auto-Expunge on, but if others are having difficulty with deletion they might want to try other settings.

Thank

Re: Gmail, Duplicate Messages, All Mail and deletion problem

Rainer M. Krug — 2013-05-13T08:40:36


No - why don't you *copy* the messages in the bin folder? GMAIL will
take care of the actual deletion then at the next sync. If I remember
correctly, that's what I did.

FDF — 2013-05-09T13:34:27

Hello,

I am using offlineimap since few days only. But it helps me a lot. Thanks
for this great job.

I am running two accounts, on two differents remote server.
The first one is running perfectly.
The second one (managed by infomaniak.ch) is not. During the
synchronisation, I am receiving what is on the remote, but he other way,
nothing is done. Thus the sent message from local server are not copied to
the remote, the moved message on local are not moved on the remote, even the
read message on the local still appear as "not read" on the remote server. I
guess it could come from the offlineimap config or the remote server config.
I don't think it comes from the offlineimap config as it is the same than
for the other account, only the server names and password change. As the
synchro is done in one way, that means the connexion is done anyway. But
maybe I am missing something here.
If it is coming from the remote server config, do you have any idea of what
it could be? I don't have access to the log of the se

Bug with exit codes?

Andrew Ferrier — 2013-05-09T10:12:30

If I run an offlineimap invocation where a cert_fingerprint is not set for
a server I'm connecting to with SSL, I (rightly) see this:

ERROR: Server SSL fingerprint 'XXX' for hostname YYY.com' does not match
configured fingerprint. Please verify and set 'cert_fingerprint'
accordingly if not set yet.

However, the exit code from offlineimap is still 0, which makes this
condition more difficult to detect as part of a script. In my case, the UI
being used is 'basic', so that I can log the output, which makes the error
harder to spot amongst the other output. If I set it to 'quiet', I just get
the error message, but not the rest of the log.

I think this is probably a bug - offlineimap should be setting a non-zero
exit code in this case?

Thanks,
Andrew.

Re: Gmail, Duplicate Messages, All Mail and deletion problem

Geoffrey Ferrari — 2013-05-07T14:33:57

Dear Tomasz,

Many thanks for the quick reply - it raises an important question for me
though.

At the moment, the only mailboxes I keep locally are All Mail and Bin
(Trash). Your answer seems to suggest that there is no way to delete emails
with this setup. Is that right? If so, that's really annoying and I'll have
to rethink my whole approach to using offlineimap with Gmail. (I realise
it's probably Gmail's fault though.)

Thanks again,

Geoff

    Do not save deleted messages to your [Gmail]/All Mail folder as some

IIRC, When you use OfflineIMAP and delete from local folder synced to
[Gmail]/All Mail, this is the equivalent of the situation described by
support.google.com -> it does not work due to how Gmail treats All Mail.

You should delete the message in [Gmail]/INBOX, then after synchronization it
will be propagated and the message will disappear in [Gmail]/All Mail as well.

Gmail, Duplicate Messages, All Mail and deletion problem

Geoffrey Ferrari — 2013-05-07T14:12:30

I use offlineimap 6.5.4 and I like it a lot - thanks everyone who makes
this software possible!

I currently have a big problem though. For whatever reason, after many
years my Gmail account contains around 1400 duplicate messages. I've been
trying to delete them but, no matter what I try, offlineimap eventually
downloads them again from Gmail.

My current setup is that I sync two folders from Gmail, the All Mail folder
and the Bin Folder.

So here are my questions:

1) What is the correct way to delete messages from the All Mail folder?
Should I just delete the local file in the All Mail folder? Move the local
file to the Bin folder? Leave the original local file in All but copy it to
the Bin folder? Something else?

2) Does anyone know why offlineimap keeps downloading duplicate messages
from Gmail rather than simply deleting them?

Many thanks for your help,

Geoff

sslcacertfile: make a build-time option to configure this in?

Reuben Thomas — 2013-05-04T17:40:08

For users who get offlineimap as a pre-built package, e.g. on Debian, it
should be possible to avoid their having ever to read the FAQ and configure
sslcacertfile, as there is a system-wide one in a well-known location.

Could this possibly be detected at build-time, or simply provided as a
configure option for packagers? Users could still override the setting if
they either wanted to use a different file, or didn't trust their system
certificate file.

Thanks, Rainer,
  This was not just due to updating to Raring. I've been running Raring for 
a month, and the first problem you describe just started for me about 12 
hours ago, after my midnight.  I already had a cert_fingerprint value in 
my .offlineimaprc, but it wasn't the one shown in the error code. Updating 
it fixed the problem.

You should check /etc/ssl/certs/ and look for the certificate file of the
following entity: (the one which certifies Google)
    C=US, O=Equifax, OU=Equifax Secure Certificate Authority

In my case, it is in a file named:
    Equifax_Secure_CA.crt

To check if this is the correct one, run:
    $ openssl x509 -text -in Equifax_Secure_CA.crt

You will see the text output of the certificate and will be able to assess if
that is the correct one (if the field Subject: and Issuer: are both equal to
the name I pasted above)

Hope this helps, best regards,
Tomasz
