+\r
+Hello,\r
+\r
+Would you have any advice on how to construct a notmuch-poll script\r
+that would work well in concert with OfflineIMAP?  In particlular, how\r
+can you avoid having to re-issue the IMAP account passwords?\r
+\r
+The OfflineIMAP docs state that SIGUSR1 forces an immediate resync of\r
+all accounts, so something based around\r
+\r
+    kill -SIGUSR1 `cat ~/.offlineimap/pid`\r
+\r
+or\r
+\r
+    pkill -SIGUSR1 -u `whoami` offlineimap\r
+\r
+(with an already-running OfflineIMAP process in autorefresh mode)\r
+could work, but it's not clear to me how to discover when the resync\r
+is done, and sleeping for an arbitrary time before calling 'notmuch\r
+new' seems unsatisfactory.\r
+\r
+Any words of wisdom?\r
+\r
+Thanks.\r
