Systemd units

These unit files are meant to be used in the user session. You may drop them into /etc/systemd/user or ${XDG_DATA_HOME}/systemd/user followed by systemctl --user daemon-reload to have systemd aware of the unit files.

These files are meant to be triggered either manually using systemctl --user start offlineimap.service or by enabling the timer unit using systemctl --user enable offlineimap-oneshot.timer. Additionally, specific accounts may be triggered by using offlineimap@myaccount.timer or offlineimap-oneshot@myaccount.service.

If the defaults provided by these units doesn't suit your setup, any of the values may be overridden by using systemctl --user edit offlineimap.service. This'll prevent having to copy-and-edit the original file.
