OfflineIMAP does not currently provide this feature, but if you create a new folder on the IMAP server, it will be created locally automatically. I was having trouble with creating a folder on the IMAP server and getting it created locally. Turned out I needed to restart offlineimap. I have an autorefresh entry and as long as that instance was running it wouldn't notice a new folder. I stopped the running offlineimap, ran it again and it found the new folder. Right now you'd have to wait until you were connected to the IMAP server to create a new folder. Ryan -- What do you think about the Cincinnati Riots?
