[SOLVED] OfflineIMAP installation issues

Good evening,

In this thread I was recommended to use the plugin "OfflineIMAP". Thankfully ryecoaaron wrote it to install it via the repos.
I installed it via the plugin manager. That worked good. After having installed the plugin, I created a new share within my AUFS-Pools, let's call it

/media/Freigaben/Sicherung/Mailsicherung

This shared folder was used to configure the OfflineIMAP plugin. The configuration itself worked like a charm.
Unfotunately there seems to be something mixed up with the folders the plugin creates. When trying to access the folders via a Windows-PC throughout SMB/CIFS with the usual user, I realised, that the folderstructure created was

/media/Freigaben/Sicherung/Mailsicherungmail/nameofthejob

Below that folder, I can see the folders of my mailbox. So far, so good.
But when trying to access one of the folder (e.g. INBOX), I get an error, stating that I am not allowed to access that folder.
What I would like to know is:

- How can I get offlineIMAP use the shared folder I want it to use?
- How can I get the offlineIMAP-folders to be accessible?
- Is there any guide on how to configure it (how to use it in a cron job, how to delete news on the email account...)?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts,

I created a shared folder.
Lokking forward to hearing from you,

Zitat von "ryecoaaron"

It is using the shared folder you selected. It just creates more subfolders within that shared folder.

And that's what it doesn't do. The shared folder created is named /media/Freigaben/Sicherung/Mailsicherung. When istalling and configuring the plugin, another folder /media/Freigaben/Sicherung/Mailsicherungmail.

Thanks for your other Feedbacks, I'll care about them.

Back again.
Attached, find the requested screenshot:

And the resulting folder structure, where Archiv and Posteo are the jobnames of offline IMAP.

Any recommendation?

Here it is:

[general]
accounts = Posteo
maxsyncaccounts = 3
socktimeout = 120


[Account Posteo]
localrepository = Posteolocal
remoterepository = Posteoremote
status_backend = sqlite
autorefresh = 2
quick=0


[Repository Posteolocal]
type = Maildir
localfolders = /media/04fc838c-2d37-45e7-9c1a-f94128367c1b//Freigaben/Sicherung/Mailsicherungmail/Posteo


[Repository Posteoremote]
type = IMAP
remotehost = posteo.de
remoteuser = user
remotepass = verysecret
ssl = yes
port = 993

Yes, I did, but no: never ever to "Mailsicherungmail". I changed it when I faced these folder issues for the first time and reinstalled/ -configured the plugin.

Strange, indeed.
I'll do so tomorrow, as I need to leave now.
Thanks,

Did it, but can't find a difference:

[general]                                                                   accounts = Posteo
maxsyncaccounts = 3
socktimeout = 120


[Account Posteo]
localrepository = Posteolocal
remoterepository = Posteoremote
status_backend = sqlite
autorefresh = 2
quick=0


[Repository Posteolocal]
type = Maildir
localfolders = /media/04fc838c-2d37-45e7-9c1a-f94128367c1b//Freigaben/Sicherung/Mailsicherungmail/Posteo


[Repository Posteoremote]
type = IMAP
remotehost = posteo.de
remoteuser = user
remotepass = ultratopsecret
ssl = yes
port = 993

That did the trick.
Thanks for supporting me, now it works.
Bg,
