offlineimap error [SOLVED]

Lexion · 2009-04-14 01:32:24

I just installed offlineimap by the instructions in the mutt wiki article, and I got this error:

/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/offlineimap/folder/Maildir.py:23: DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead

Here is my config file:

[general]
accounts = google
ui = Noninteractive.Quiet

[Account google]
localrepository = googleLocal
remoterepository = googleRemote
autorefresh = 30

[Repository googleLocal]
type = Maildir
localfolders = ~/.mail

[Repository googleRemote]
type = IMAP
ssl = no
remotehost = imap.google.com
remoteuser = *@gmail.com
remotepass = *

realdelete = no

Change your password now.

Thank you, this is what I get for posting before I go to bed.

Bugger.

silly question, does ~/.mail exist? also feel free to use my config and see if you get better results:

[general]
ui = Noninteractive.Quiet
accounts = GMail

[Account GMail]
localrepository = Local
remoterepository = Remote
autorefresh = 1
quick = 10

[Repository Local]
type = Maildir
localfolders = ~/.mail

[Repository Remote]
type = Gmail
remoteuser = *@gmail.com
remotepass = *
realdelete = no

edit: fwiw, iirc, (acronyms ftw!) google's imap required a few extra ssl / port settings in offlineimaprc. that's probably why yours is failing; and that's also why offlineimap introduced the Gmail type that i use above. it takes care of all that and should work best.

It got farther. Yes I do have a ~/.mail directory.

prompting for a password? did you forget to call it out in your config?

Lexion · 2009-04-14 18:27:51

I forgot to change my config when I changed my password. Thank you.

Although this thread was meant to help me with this problem, I think I need help with getting more sleep.
