sudo port -f install neomutt +idn +lmdb +notmuch +sslsudo port -f install offlineimapCopy .offlineimaprc to the home directory. Replace the <REDACTED> line in
.offlineimaprc with a device password for gmail.
Open up the Keychain Access app, go to System Roots and then
Certificates, hit CMD-A to select all, and hit CMD-SHIFT-E to export all
certificates into a single .pem file. Place this at the path indicated in
.offlineimaprc, which should be ~/ca-certs/certs.pem.
On Linux, you should be able to use something like
sslcacertfile = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
in .offlineimaprc.
Run offlineimap -o to fetch email for the first time. Will probably take a
while. If you have an offline copy of your email, it will be much quicker to
rsync that whole thing and then go from there with offlineimap.
Put offlineimap in a cron script to periodically restart it in case it
crashes. It acts as a daemon, so it will just quit immediately if an instance
is running already. I have read old testimony claiming that offlineimap
tends to hang, but in my experience, it just crashes when it messes up. I will
update as necessary if the hanging problem rears its ugly head.
