Package: offlineimap Version: 6.0.3 Severity: wishlist It'd be great if I could flag certain folders such that offlineimap only synchronises them e.g. once a day, once a week, or every Nth run. It should not matter whether offlineimap -o is invoked by cron, or whether the same process sleeps between runs.
I tried to implement this with state files and python magic in the helper file, but it got very very messy and fragile. Since offlineimap keeps metadata about each folder anyway, it'll probably be fairly easy to implement this, once we've agreed on a config representation. Maybe a dictionary would be best, mapping folder name to a frequency representation, e.g.: *5 -> every fifth run daily,hourly,weekly,monthly -> ibid. sundays,wednesdays,... -> ibid. 1st,3rd,16th,... -> day of each month Cheers, -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages offlineimap depends on: ii python 2.5.4-2 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-support 0.8.7 automated rebuilding support for P offlineimap recommends no packages.
