Programming Lang: Python
Description : IMAP/Maildir synchronization and reader support
This is the python3 port of OfflineIMAP.
As discussed in https://github.com/OfflineIMAP/offlineimap3/issues/10
upstream is asking to treat offlineimap and offlineimap3 separately and
it can be packaged after upstream has done its first official release.
What's the point of packaging this under a new name, if the old version is going
to be removed? If they aren't meant to be coinstalled, and specially if the
application interface is compatible with the old version, then there's little
benefit in renaming it. The language (version) is just an implementation detail
in this case.
Cheers,
Emilio
