MBSync

This is a pretty simple role intended to make it a little bit easier to manage mbsync installs and configurations. If you want to manage your user account(s) and mail access, this might be useful for you.

Requirements

None.

Role Variables

All values are defined and documented in defaults/main.yml.

This role is meant to be used on a user account, so mbsync_user and mbsync_group should be set to a real user. If the specified user doesn't exist, the role will fail.

Dependencies

None.

Example Playbook

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

- hosts: myworkstations
  roles:
     - role: dudefellah.mbsync
       mbsync_user: dudefellah
       mbsync_group: dudefellah
       mbsync_mbsyncrc_content: |
         # {{ ansible_managed }}
         Expunge None

         MaildirStore local
         Path ~/Mail/
         Subfolders Verbatim

         IMAPStore myemail
         Host imap.myemail.com
         User [email protected]
         PassCmd "sed -n -e 's,^machine imap\\.myemail\\.com login [email protected] password \\(.*\\),\\1,p' < $HOME/.netrc"

         Channel myemail
         Master :myemail:
         Slave :local:
         Expunge Slave
         Sync Pull All
