Newly working with neomutt and mbsync. I did an initial grab of all my mail and folders which was fine. Then I started organizing my folders and mail. Some of the folders (or "mailboxes") within the account were cleaned up and DELETED. When I run mbsync -a it seems to want to find those deleted folders. The error message is as follows:

Error: channel example@gmail.com: far side box INBOX/subscribed cannot be opened.

The INBOX/subscribed is a folder that no longer exists under INBOX Yet, the mbsync task is still trying to fetch it. **Is there a config file somewhere that needs updating? What can I do to fix this error?** Thank you for your help.

I'm trying to retrieve my mail from command line, and they use mu4e to read them. However, it turns out to be a nightmare to find a program that can do the following stuff: - downloads the mail from an IMAP server into a maildir folder - uses SSL/TLS when the server provide it - can deal with IMAP IDLE in order to avoid dirty loop to get the messages, if possible efficiently - provides a way to get the password from a GPG encrypted file for security reason (I don't want to need to trust the people that can get physical access to the computer) - can deal with several accounts in parallel, if possible with just one execution to save ressources Bonus: - efficient (I would like to avoid to install a full IMAP server) - reliable - still maintained - simple to configure - packaged into regular linux distributions, as well as nix I tried lots of solutions, but it seems that none of them can deal with these tasks... - offlineimap : officially has beta for IDLE, but I was not able to configure it to use it (bug or maybe I just missed something important...), offlineimap just stop after one scan even with the idle options. Moreover, it seems to be quite slow and buggy according to the community - mbsync : no IDLE - mbsync + mswatch : need to have access on the server, so not possible - mbsync + imapnotify : maybe the best solution so far... but imapnotify is not packaged in debian and nix - imapsync : does not deal with mailbox format - fetchmail : cannot deal with PGP encrypted password Any solution?

I am trying to sync my mails from gmail to my local mail server using mbsync . But i keep getting an error Error: SASL(-4): no mechanism available: No worthy mechs found Here is my .mbsyncrc file: #IMAP server you wish to copy mails from.

If i change the AuthMech type to LOGIN, i get an invalid credentials error. (makes sense, i put in an auth token in place of the password). Any ideas?

This question is about offlineimaps but with the given opportunity I'd like resources to learn more about ssl certificates and the whole deal with them. I downloaded the latest offlineimaps (7.0.6) and after I was done with the minimal config I run the command and I get the following error: Account sync Gmail: *** Processing account Gmail Establishing connection to imaps://imap.gmail.com:993 (GmailRemote) ERROR: No CA certificates and no server fingerprints configured.

After syncing my local maildir inboxes with offlineimap and performing spam filtering and sorting using fdm+bogofilter, I tag the messages in the mail store using notmuch. Up until recently, I used the following shell code to tag and re-tag messages depending on certain criteria:

notmuch new

tr -s '\t' ' ' <<'END_BATCH' | notmuch tag --batch
-inbox +sent            -- folder:/Sent/
-inbox +archive         -- folder:/Archive/
-inbox +junk            -- folder:/Junk/
+unsorted               -- folder:/INBOX.Unsorted/
-unsorted               -- not folder:/INBOX.Unsorted/
-unread -- tag:archive
+unread -- tag:unsorted
END_BATCH

This removes the inbox tag from any message in a Sent, Archive or Junk folder, while retagging the messages with the appropriate tags for those three folders. It then tags or untags messages depending on whether they are in an INBOX.Unsorted folder (where I put messages that bogofilter couldn't classify). Lastly, I ensure that archived messages are not tagged as unread and that unsorted messages _are_ tagged as unread. This worked well. Since I receive mail on five different accounts, I then also wanted to add tags like account-somename, account-othername etc. to messages, depending on the folder name:

notmuch new

tr -s '\t' ' ' <<'END_BATCH' | notmuch tag --batch
-inbox +sent            -- folder:/Sent/
-inbox +archive         -- folder:/Archive/
-inbox +junk            -- folder:/Junk/
+unsorted               -- folder:/INBOX.Unsorted/
-unsorted               -- not folder:/INBOX.Unsorted/
-unread -- tag:archive
+unread -- tag:unsorted
+account-acc1           -- folder:/acc1/
+account-acc2           -- folder:/acc2/
+account-acc3           -- folder:/acc3/
+account-acc4           -- folder:/acc4/
+account-acc5           -- folder:/acc5/
END_BATCH

The tagging seems to be performed as expected, but a side-effect is that _new messages are marked as old_ (moved from the maildir's new directory to the cur directory). This in turn means mutt won't detect the new messages in the inboxes (unless I set maildir_check_cur in the mutt configuration, which I don't think is a nice solution). I don't know why or what I could do to stop this from happening. My notmuch configuration:

[database]
path=/home/myself/Mail/inboxes

[user]
name=myname
primary_email=me@example.com
other_email=otherme@example.com

[new]
tags=inbox;unread

**What I'm trying to achieve:** I am trying to send pdf documents to my Remarkable 2 tablet via email. **How I'm trying to do it:** 1. I set up rmfakecloud: a software that runs on your server and emulates the official Remarkable cloud system, so you're in control of your data 2. I set up rmapi: a software that allows to interact with rmfakecloud and official Remarkable 2 cloud through the command line 3. I set up an email account on gmail tablet@mydomain.com enabling login with less secure apps (i.e.: allow to login without second authentication factor) 4. I wrote (with the help of ChatGPT, I must admit) a short bash script that: * Downloads all emails from said account * Checks if the sender matches my email account (myself@mydomain.com) * Extracts the files from the email, if they are pdf ** Maildir Folder [Gmail]/Drafts [acc: Gmail]: Syncing [Gmail]/Drafts: Gmail -> Maildir Folder [Gmail]/Important [acc: Gmail]: Syncing [Gmail]/Important: Gmail -> Maildir Folder [Gmail]/Sent Mail [acc: Gmail]: Syncing [Gmail]/Sent Mail: Gmail -> Maildir Folder [Gmail]/Spam [acc: Gmail]: Syncing [Gmail]/Spam: Gmail -> Maildir Folder [Gmail]/Starred [acc: Gmail]: Syncing [Gmail]/Starred: Gmail -> Maildir Folder [Gmail]/Trash [acc: Gmail]: Syncing [Gmail]/Trash: Gmail -> Maildir Folder INBOX [acc: Gmail]: Syncing INBOX: Gmail -> Maildir Account sync Gmail: *** Finished account 'Gmail' in 0:01 **What I understood is going wrong:** From my understanding, the script manages to download mail from gmail imap server, and manages to upload files to the cloud server if files are provided. *What doesn't work*, is the extraction of pdf files from the emails. I really don't know what is going wrong, and I don't know what could be an easier approach. **How I plan to run the script:** I plan to demonize the script and run it as a systemd service

I've only ever used GUI mail clients like Thunderbird, and want to try using offlineimap with alpine. However I'm confused about how it all ties together. As I understand it: > Once I configure offlineimap with my accounts, it will go to every respective server and use IMAP to mirror my mails to a local folder like ~/mail/gmail. Presumably I can then use any mail client to read these emails, and if I make changes to them (such as marking as read or moving between folders) they will be pushed to the server the next time offlineimap syncs. But what about sending mail? I'm a bit fuzzy on how email works, however, it seems like: >IMAP is just for downloading/uploading mail to be stored on my mail provider's server. So IMAP can't actually send mail. Mail is sent using SMTP. In many clients, when you click "send mail", what actually happens is that the mail you compose gets sent through SMTP *and also* the mail client saves a copy of the mail to the "sent" folder of your account, which will be propagated through IMAP. So my questions here are: 1. Is my understanding above correct? 2. If I use offlineimap, who will actually send my outgoing mails through SMTP? Would I set up some separate "send emails" program that will periodically check my "outgoing" folder and send everything in there via SMTP (how will it know which SMTP server and account to use)? Or will I still have to set up SMTP server/credentials in alpine?

I use offlineimap to organize my emails, and in order to use my work account I am now obliged to use OAuth2 authentication. I successfully got a refresh-token, and thus offlineimap works if I set the variable

accordingly. However, I would like to store the refresh token encrypted (I use unix pass, that stores it as a gpg encrypted file). I cannot manage to use the

to set a python code that reads the refresh token from pass, or the corresponding gpg file, probably because of my complete lack of python knowledge. I tried to use the same code as for

(and that for the latter works perfectly):

def get_pass(account): 
        return check_output("pass email/" + account, shell=True).splitlines()

but I get the following error:

TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'

and in fact the offlineimaprc template here specifies that the returned values by

"must be bytes" (whatever this means). What is the correct code to use in this case?

I'm pretty new to linux, Im running Ubuntu at the moment. On windows I was using a service called "mailstore" to archive the entire contents of multiple email accounts. I've seen a few searching google, but a lot of the "verbage" goes way over my head at the moment. All the accounts being archived use yahoo, and I dont need to be able to send mail. Would be great to be able to add a full list of the accounts instead of manually adding them one by one. Also a plus if it has an integrated mail client for viewing emails as well, but thats not completely necessary. Would love any suggestions or links to any great guides for newbies to linux like me. Thanks!

I'm trying to set up OfflineIMAP to authenticate via a gpg encrypted file (that way I can consolidate all my encryption to my gpg-agent process). From the documentation, it seems the only way to encrypt one's server passwords is to use gnome-keyring (which I'd prefer not to run on my headless server). Is there a way to pipe in my password from a gpg file the way you can with mutt? I know you can add extra features to offlineimap with the extension python file, but I'm afraid I wouldn't know where to start with that.

I'm wanting to move my maildir folder to a different disk that has a Window file system. However, the file system does not allow colons (:) in file names, which Maildir uses in some file names by default. There is an option for Maildir to use another character in place of a colon. Exclamation point is common . However, I've read a warning that "you will probably loose compatibility with other programs trying to read the same Maildir. " when using this option. I only use mutt for reading this mail. Can mutt handle exclamation marks in place of a colon in filenames?

I'm setting up a new computer and installed offlineimap with pip install --user offlineimap but when I try to run it I'm getting a series of errors because offlineimap doesn't support Python3: https://github.com/OfflineIMAP/offlineimap/issues/472 I do have 2.7 installed as well as 3: amanda@host:~$ python --version Python 2.7.15rc1 but even I'm not sure how to force offlineimap to use it.

I'm using mutt as email client. Specifically, this is my setup: - Mail is stored at a remote hosting company. - Mail is retrieved locally using OfflineIMAP. - I have two mail accounts: one personal and one for work. Both use separate Maildirs/muttrcs/instances of mutt. I've been using abook as address book and in general I like it. However, I'd like to have my contacts synced between computers. Apart from using Dropbox or similar software, is it possible to store the contacts somehow on the mail server? I've read that for example Alpine uses the IMAP protocol to synchronize contacts. Is something similar possible for mutt/abook?

I am trying to autosync my mail in mutt using offlineimap via a systemd service. I am using these files and have moved them to the /etc/systemd/user folder.

If you are using offlineimap to sync for example with gmail one can encrypt the password and use a python script to decrypt it on runtime. This is done via setting remotepass = passwd('gmail.gpg') in the offlineimaprc file, where passwd is a python function. Is the use of such python function restricted to certain keys, like remotepass in the above example or could I theoretically use python function on the right hand side for every key? The reason why I'm asking is the following: I'm trying to encrypt other values for other keys as well. However, I get an error like: ERROR: While attempting to sync account 'gmail' ('http error', 401, 'Unauthorized', ) (configuration is: {'client_secret': "passwd('gmail_client_secret.gpg')", 'grant_type': 'refresh_token', 'refresh_token': "passwd('gmail_rf_token.gpg')", 'client_id': "passwd('gmail_client_id.gpg')"}) and I'm not sure if the function passwd really is executed. Running the python function in a python interpreter gives the correct results.

I am using offlineimap 6.3.4 on a Debian system to synchronize my emails with two different IMAP servers (running Zimbra) and a MS Exchange server (through davmail). Everything is OK except the following. When I move a read message from folder Foo (ie. message in folder directory Foo/cur with a :2,S extension) to folder Bar with my mailer (I check that it is indeed in Bar/cur with the :2,S extension) and run a synchronization the message appears as new again (ie. moved to Bar/new with :2, extension). This is very annoying as the new message list is always cluttered by already read mails that have just been moved to other folders. Is there any way to prevent this?

I have a series of folders that I deleted from my SMTP server but they still exist on my local machine. I'd like to keep them from syncing to the server. The folders all follow a pretty basic naming pattern: INBOX.01 Domingo INBOX.02 Segunda ... INBOX.07 S&AOE-bado (You'll notice I'm also having trouble syncing accents, but that's a frustration I can live with for now.) grep "0[1-7] " matches the folders I care about and none that I don't care about, but I can't seem to tweak my .offlineimaprc to skip them. Here are a few things that I've tried: folderfilter = lambda folder: not re.search('0[1-7] ', folder) folderfilter = lambda folder: folder not in ['INBOX.01 Domingo'] But offlineimap --info | grep "0[1-7] " still indicates that it is trying to sync the folders, including INBOX.01 Domingo. What am I doing wrong here? How do I tell offlineimap to skip these directories?

## Short description, what i'm searching for: I want to have a detached tmux session automatically started as a systemd user service. Inside that, offlineimap should start and decrypt my login credentials. The graphical variant of pinentry should ask me for the password for decrypting my login credentials, when I attach to the session. For managing my login credentials, I want to use the program pass . ## What I've got so far: The desired Behavior works perfectly and reproducibly (starting from reboot), when i start the user service after I've logged into my system. But unfortunately it doesn't work when I do "symstemctl --user enable mail.service" and reboot: $ systemctl --user status mail ● mail.service - load offlineimap for all mail accounts inside tmux Loaded: loaded (/home/toogley/.dotfiles/systemd/user/mail.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: inactive (dead) $ tmux attach-session -t mail can't find session mail I have no idea, what i could analyze or what might be the reason.
