offlineimap: Synchronize a specific folder.
$ offlineimap -f ${folder}
try on your machine
The command "offlineimap -f ${folder}" is used to sync a specific email folder between an email server and a local machine using the OfflineIMAP tool.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "offlineimap": This is the executable command for running OfflineIMAP.
- "-f": This flag is used to specify the operation mode of OfflineIMAP. In this case, it tells OfflineIMAP to perform a folder sync.
- "${folder}": This is a placeholder for the name of the specific folder you want to sync. The actual folder name should be substituted in place of "${folder}".
By running this command, OfflineIMAP will connect to the email server and synchronize the specified folder's contents with that of the local machine, ensuring that both are up to date with the latest emails and changes.
