NAME
offlineimapui - The User InterfacesDESCRIPTION
OfflineIMAP comes with different UIs, each aiming its own purpose.TTYUI
TTYUI interface is for people running in terminals. It prints out basic status messages and is generally friendly to use on a console or xterm.BASIC
Basic is designed for situations in which OfflineIMAP will be run non-attended and the status of its execution will be logged.BLINKENLIGHTS
Blinkenlights is an interface designed to be sleek, fun to watch, and informative of the overall picture of what OfflineIMAP is doing.•Black
indicates that this light's thread has terminated; it will light up again later when new threads start up. So, black indicates no activity.
•Red (Meaning 1)
is the color of the main program's thread, which basically does nothing but monitor the others. It might remind you of HAL 9000 in 2001.
•Gray
indicates that the thread is establishing a new connection to the IMAP server.
•Purple
is the color of an account synchronization thread that is monitoring the progress of the folders in that account (not generating any I/O).
•Cyan
indicates that the thread is syncing a folder.
•Green
means that a folder's message list is being loaded.
•Blue
is the color of a message synchronization controller thread.
•Orange
indicates that an actual message is being copied. (We use fuchsia for fake messages.)
•Red (meaning 2)
indicates that a message is being deleted.
•Yellow / bright orange
indicates that message flags are being added.
•Pink / bright red
indicates that message flags are being removed.
•Red / Black Flashing
corresponds to the countdown timer that runs between synchronizations.
Front-panel diagnostic lights on a computer, esp. a dinosaur. Now that dinosaurs are rare, this term usually refers to status lights on a modem, network hub, or the like.
ACHTUNG! ALLES LOOKENSPEEPERS!
Das computermachine ist nicht fuer gefingerpoken und mittengrabben. Ist easy schnappen der springenwerk, blowenfusen und poppencorken mit spitzensparken. Ist nicht fuer gewerken bei das dumpkopfen. Das rubbernecken sichtseeren keepen das cotten-pickenen hans in das pockets muss; relaxen und watchen das blinkenlichten.
QUIET
It will output nothing except errors and serious warnings. Like Basic, this user interface is not capable of reading a password from the keyboard; account passwords must be specified using one of the configuration file options.SYSLOG
Syslog is designed for situations where OfflineIMAP is run as a daemon (e.g., as a systemd --user service), but errors should be forwarded to the system log. Like Basic, this user interface is not capable of reading a password from the keyboard; account passwords must be specified using one of the configuration file options.MACHINEUI
MachineUI generates output in a machine-parsable format. It is designed for other programs that will interface to OfflineIMAP.SEE ALSO
