+[Repository GmailExample]
+
+# A repository using Gmail's IMAP interface. Any configuration
+# parameter of `IMAP` type repositories can be used here. Only
+# `remoteuser` (or `remoteusereval` ) is mandatory. Default values
+# for other parameters are OK, and you should not need fiddle with
+# those.
+#
+# The Gmail repository will use hard-coded values for `remotehost`,
+# `remoteport`, `tunnel` and `ssl`. (See
+# http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78799&topic=12814)
+# Any attempt to set those parameters will be silently ignored.

+
+# Deleting a message from a Gmail folder via the IMAP interface will
+# just remove that folder's label from the message: the message will
+# continue to exist in the '[Gmail]/All Mail' folder. If `realdelete`
+# is set to `True`, then deleted messages will really be deleted
+# during `offlineimap` sync, by moving them to the '[Gmail]/Trash'
+# folder. BEWARE: this will deleted a messages from *all folders* it
+# belongs to!
