I am happy to announce release candidate 1 OfflineIMAP v6.5.5-rc2, which has just been tagged in the "next" branch. (don't ask about the rc2, I forgot to actually bump numbers on rc1) Please test and report critical errors. If nothing really bad ... [More] sticks out this is going to become v6.5.5 in due time. Git release tag: "v6.5.5-rc2" (gpg signed by me). git repository: git://github.com/OfflineIMAP/offlineimap.git Tarball: https://github.com/OfflineIMAP/offlineimap/tarball/v6.5.5-rc2 OfflineImap is also available via http://pypi.python.org, so you can also simply "easy_install offlineimap" or "pip install offlineimap", given you have pip or python setuptools installed. This is also a good time to remind people that the official git repository is to be found at: https://github.com/OfflineIMAP/offlineimap. It is no longer located at the personal repositories of mine or Nicolas. Nicolas will send information on the new maintenance organization soonish. Web: http://offlineimap.org Online docs: http://doc.offlineimap.org (courtesy readthedocs.org) News: http://news.offlineimap.org Twitter: 'offlineimap' for news on releases etc. See Changelog below. In the team of the maintenance committee Sebastian OfflineIMAP v6.5.5-rc2 (2012-09-05) =================================== * Don't create folders if readonly is enabled. * Learn to deal with readonly folders to properly detect this condition and act accordingly. One example is Gmail's "Chats" folder that is read-only, but contains logs of the quick chats. (E. Ryabinkin) * Fix str.format() calls for Python 2.6 (D. Logie) * Remove APPENDUID hack, previously introduced to fix Gmail, no longer necessary, it might have been breaking things. (J. Wiegley) * Improve regex that could lead to 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group' (D. Franke) * Improved error throwing on repository misconfiguration Permalink | Leave a comment  » [Less]

The official github repository is now maintained by the OfflineIMAP organization at https://github.com/OfflineIMAP/offlineimap. Please point your repositories to git://github.com/OfflineIMAP/offlineimap.git The previous location on spaetz' ... [More] private account was bound to be the bottleneck. The new location is maintained by a bunch of maintainers. Permalink | Leave a comment  » [Less]

Many of you will experience an "error" like this on upgrading OfflineImap: Establishing connection to imap.gmail.com:993 ERROR: Server SSL fingerprint 'f3043dd689a2e7dddfbef82703a6c65ea9b634c1' for hostname 'imap.gmail.com' does not match ... [More] configured fingerprint. Please verify and set 'cert_fingerprint' accordingly if not set yet. This error is no error, but the new feature of OfflineIMap to actually perform a check of the SSL certificate of the IMAP server you connect to. YOu can either set a CA certificate to verify it, or -absent a CA certificate- you need to store the "fingerprint" of the SSL certificate in your offlineimap.conf to make sure it does not change on subsequent connects. If it changes, it will mean that the server has a) a new certificate or b) there is a malicious man-in-the-middle. The solution to this problem is easy: in your repository section, add: cert_fingerprint=f3043dd689a2e7dddfbef82703a6c65ea9b634c1 given the above error message. Permalink | Leave a comment  » [Less]

Dear all, OfflineImap 6.5.4 is out, it is the unchanged current 'next' branch. See Changelog below. We have 13 tests now, that makes it 8 new tests since the last release. I am determined to catch up with the rather big backlog of still-unhandled ... [More] email over the next 2 weeks, please bear with me. OfflineIMAP v6.5.4 (2012-06-02) ================================= * bump bundled imaplib2 library 2.29 --> 2.33 * Actually perform the SSL fingerprint check (reported by J. Cook) * Curses UI, don't use colors after we shut down curses already (C.Höger) * Document that '%' needs encoding as '%%' in *.conf * Fix crash when IMAP.quickchanged() led to an Error (reported by sharat87) * Implement the createfolders setting to disable folder propagation (see docs) As usual, grab the source from github. It has been tagged as v6.5.4 with my gpg key. source tar.gz: https://github.com/spaetz/offlineimap/tarball/v6.5.4 The gpg signature of the release tar is available in the downloads section on github. Visit us at http://offlineimap.org, read the (improved) docs at http://docs.offlineimap.org, get the news at http://news.offlineimap.org or follow offlineimap on twitter.

unknownname.out Download this file So much stuff had piled up that I decided to just release the 6.5.3 with what we had in the current 'next' branch. It passes all of our 5 (! :-)) tests. I am still in the process of catching up with a rather ... [More] large backlog of messages and patches, so a followup-release is possible soon. The big use-visible feature is probably the new --dry-run option. As usual, grab the source from github. It has been tagged as v6.5.3 with my gpg key. source tar.gz: https://github.com/spaetz/offlineimap/tarball/v6.5.3 The gpg signature of the release tar is attached to this mail and available in the downloads section on github. Visit us at http://offlineimap.org, read the (improved) docs at http://docs.offlineimap.org, get the news at http://news.offlineimap.org or follow offlineimap on twitter. OfflineIMAP v6.5.3 (2012-04-02) =============================== * --dry-run mode protects us from performing any actual action. It will not precisely give the exact information what will happen. If e.g. it would need to create a folder, it merely outputs "Would create folder X", but not how many and which mails it would transfer. * internal code changes to prepare for Python3 * Improve user documentation of nametrans/folderfilter * Fixed some cases where invalid nametrans rules were not caught and we would not propagate local folders to the remote repository. (now tested in test03) * Revert "* Slight performance enhancement uploading mails to an IMAP server in the common case." It might have led to instabilities. * Revamped documentation structure. `make` in the `docs` dir or `make doc` in the root dir will now create the 1) man page and 2) the user documentation using sphinx (requiring python-doctools, and sphinx). The resulting user docs are in `docs/html`. You can also only create the man pages with `make man` in the `docs` dir. * -f command line option only works on the untranslated remote repository folder names now. Previously folderfilters had to match both the local AND remote name which caused unwanted behavior in combination with nametrans rules. Clarify in the help text. * Some better output when using nonsensical configuration settings * Improve compatability of the curses UI with python 2.6 Permalink | Leave a comment  » [Less]

OfflineImap v6.5.2.1 has been released. This is the same as the previous -rc1 with the Gmail "realdelete" option removed which I consider dangerous (potential dataloss).

unknownname.out Download this file As promised, here is the recent 6.5.2-rc1 as 6.5.2, it mostly contains some documentation improvements over the rc1. OfflineIMAP v6.5.2 (2012-01-17) =============================== * User documentation is ... [More] now integrated in http://docs.offlineimap.org. Further improvements to the docs can -and will be- made. * Gmail "realdelete" option is considered harmful and has the potential for data loss. Analysis at http://article.gmane.org/gmane.mail.imap.offlineimap.general/5265 Warnings were added to offlineimap.conf * Rather than write out the nametrans'lated folder names for mbnames, we now write out the local untransformed box names. This is generally what we want. This became relevant since we support nametrans rules on the local side since only a short time. Reported by Paul Collignan. * Some sanity checks and improved error messages. * Revert 6.5.1.1 change to use public imaplib2 function, it was reported to not always work. * Don't fail when ~/netrc is not readable by us. * Don't emit noisy regular sleeping announcements in Basic UI.

v6.5.1.1 contained a switch from using an internal imaplib2 function to the public version (.response()), however that led to reports that "UIDVALIDY" and "APPENDUID" fetching sometimes failed, despite the server having sent data. This can entail ... [More] duplicate messages but no data loss. But as it is very annoying and buggy, I herewith release the next -rc1 containing smallish fixes that fix this behavior. A proper Changelog will be delivered on the next full release. If you experience crashes with 6.5.1.1 please test this version first. Please test this release candidate, or it will becomes v6.5.2 soonish. Grab 1) via git (tag v6.5.2-rc1 or current master) 2) or from https://github.com/spaetz/offlineimap/tarball/v6.5.2-rc1 OfflineIMAP v6.5.2-rc1 (2012-01-09) =================================== Commits v6.5.1.1 - v6.5.2-rc1: note: Proper Changelog still in Changelog-draft.rst d72bb88 Improve error message 3284e01 Revert "use .response() rather _get_untagged_response()" 81f194a mbnames should write out local and not nametransformed box names 7184ec2 Sanity check return value of UIDVALIDTY response 50de217 Allow to pass 'force' arg to selectro() to enforce a new select ed71805 Changelog entry about "realdelete" option 0a275b9 Add scary warnings about "realdelete" option Permalink | Leave a comment  » [Less]
