Description Amit Shah 2009-02-06 12:31:22 UTC

Description of problem:
I have this line in my folderfilter:

folderfilter = lambda foldername: foldername not in ['[Gmail].Trash', '[Gmail].Spam']

Even with this line in the rc file, the spam and trash folders get synced.

I also tried

folderfilter = lambda foldername: foldername not in ['Trash', 'Spam']

and that doesn't help either.

Note that I'm using the gmail account as a regular imaps account instead of the special 'gmail' account type.

Is this broken or am I doing it wrong?

Comment 1 Amit Shah 2009-03-09 13:08:16 UTC

folderfilter = lambda foldername: not re.search('(Trash|Spam)', foldername)

This seems to work. I'm still wondering why a non-regexp string doesn't work.

Comment 2 Christoph Höger 2009-06-27 13:01:43 UTC

Sorry for not answering this for that long time, but bugzilla isn't a tool for support requests ;).

No, really: I guess the folder name would be something like [Gmail]/Trash (according to offlineimaps example conf). That is the mbox name that gets translated to [Gmail].Trash for maildir standards sake.

So I'll close this one.

Comment 3 Amit Shah 2009-06-28 07:42:26 UTC

I'm sorry on two counts: it did seem like a support request when I didn't know if I was doing it wrong or if the code has a bug in it.

Second, I should read the config file more closely.

Thanks a lot.
