I used this guide to set up offlineimap to sync email to a Maildir. The configuration goes to a run-command file ~/.offlineimaprc:



[general]

accounts = Gmail

maxsyncaccounts = 1



[Account Gmail]

localrepository = LocalGmail

remoterepository = RepositoryGmail

status_backend = sqlite



[Reposiroty LocalGmail]

type = Maildir

localfolders = ~/Maildir/Gmail



[Reposiroty RepositoryGmail]

type = Gmail

maxconnections = 2

remoteuser = YOUR_GMAIL_USERNAME

remotepass = YOUR_GMAIL_PASSWORD

sslcacertfile = /usr/local/etc/openssl/cert.pem


I could not find a similar tool for POP3 downloading of emails. Does it exist? What is its configuration?






emacs pop3 maildir

    POP3 is only offline... any tool that does POP3 will work because that is basically how POP3 works. POP3 and IMAP are basically the same protocol, where IMAP is an extended version of pop3 meant to keep the email and its status online, but behind the scenes it will download the mail, with the exception that if you delete a mail online, it will be deleted locally too. Pop 3 on the other hand does not care for what the state on the server is.

  • Thanks for the clarification. If any tool works, can you recommend one with a reasonable user and knowledge base?

  • No I can't. Just do some research. SuperUser is not the place to get software recommendations anyway.
