I'm trying to set up OfflineIMAP to authenticate via a gpg encrypted file (that way I can consolidate all my encryption to my gpg-agent process).From the documentation, it seems the only way to encrypt one's server passwords is to use gnome-keyring (which I'd prefer not to run on my headless server). Is there a way to pipe in my password from a gpg file the way you can with mutt?I know you can add extra features to offlineimap with the extension python file, but I'm afraid I wouldn't know where to start with that.
Encrypt OfflineIMAP Password
encryption;gpg;offlineimap
Another method of leaving offlineimap running with knowledge of your password, but without putting the password on disk, is to leave offlineimap running in tmux/screen with the autorefresh setting enabled in your ~/.offlineimaprcYou need to add autorefresh = 10 to the [Account X] section of the offlineimaprc file, to get it to check every 10 minutes. Also delete any config line with password or passwordeval.  Then run offlineimap - it will ask for your password and cache it in memory.  It will not exit after the first run, but will sleep for 10 minutes.  Then it will wake up and run again, but it will still remember your password.So you can leave a tmux session running with offlineimap, enter your password once, and offlineimap will be fine there after.
