           Summary: offlineimap: misleading manpage
    Classification: openSUSE
           Product: openSUSE 11.3
           Version: RC 2
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: openSUSE 11.3
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Network
        AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: puzel@xxxxxxxxxx

          Found By: Development

offlineimap manpage lists several user interfaces that can be used with imap
(offlineimap -u iface_name):

TTY.TTYUI
CURSES.BLINKENLIGHTS
NONINTERACTIVE.BASIC
NONINTERACTIVE.QUIET
MACHINE.MACHINEUI

Contrary to the manpage, this does not work:

$ offlineimap -u CURSES.BLINKENLIGHTS
ERROR: No UIs were found usable

The same applies for
{NONINTERACTIVE.BASIC,NONINTERACTIVE.QUIET,MACHINE.MACHINEUI}

TTY.TTYUI works as fine:

$ offlineimap -u TTY.TTYUI
OfflineIMAP 6.2.0
[SNIP]


I found out that the ui name (except TTY.TTYUI) needs to be written with only
the first letters capitalized. All these work fine:

offlineimap -u Noninteractive.Basic
offlineimap -u Noninteractive.Quiet
offlineimap -u Curses.Blinkenlights

This is confusing - offlineimap should either recognize both capitalized and
noncapitalized form of the UI name, or the manpage should be adjusted.

$ rpm -q offlineimap
offlineimap-6.2.0-3.1.noarch
